We acknowledge as we begin that we stand on the ancestral land of the Duwamish, Coast Salish, and Suquamish people. The Duwamish People and their ancestors have lived in the Seattle area for 10,000 years. Seattle is named after Chief Si’ahl of the Duwamish and Suquamish Tribes.

Introduction
A triptych is a set of three works of art set next to each other and intended to be appreciated together. This centering walk will be a triptych with three locations and three reflections, which could take 20-30 minutes, or longer if you want to linger.
There’s no right way to do this, and no wrong way. You don’t have to walk in a certain way to be a pilgrim. You can have hopes but we encourage you to let go of expectations. The walk’s purpose is to open your senses to whatever you see and experience.
Start
Let’s get started! Walk from here to the Seattle Center International Fountain.
Turn left out of the First Church driveway, cross the four-way stop and continue between the tall trees and the Seattle Center construction.
