"David & Steve Gordon are back with another rare journey into the Garden of Serenity. This venture leads us into another lush corner of the garden, weaving in their signature sounds of nature, bird song, gentle flowing waters, fountains and breezes with lilting classically influenced melodies blending caresses of harp with flute, piano and strings. I have just begun using this CD in my healing work and my clients love it. This is the perfect Sunday afternoon music for just relaxing and reading your favorite book to. Gentle and incredibly soothing, yet enabling the consciousness of the listener to remain awakened and attentive. I highly recommend this CD for meditation and relaxation and thank the Gordon's for continuing to put out the highest quality mind, body & spirit influenced music."

"I think that this cd is the best release signed by David and Steve Gordon! Luckily, a friend of mine told me about this cd. I haven't hear this on radios and I don't understand why many labels don't make a proper promotion for their artists..."

"It is true that this one is different from the other two Garden of Serenity albums but in a wonderful way! This brings the traveler to a new corner of the Garden! This album is more like a stroll around the beautiful and vast garden of my mind allowing me to focus on relaxation and begin to be kind to myself. Each listen is a new journey and I am ecstatic that I found this album!
Take a listen to the other two as well!

"This is a great means for me to unwind and release the stresses of my day. This album even more that the other two Garden of Serenity Volumes (Garden of Serenity & Garden of Serenity II), though I love them too, feels like a journey of discovery which am often in need of. I also have been listening to Soothing Sanctuary alot right now."
A quick smile and gentle handshake

"This is not the same pace as either Garden of Serenity 1 or 2 but it is just as refreshing. It is quicker, more uplifting and refreshing, like a quick dip in a cool pond rather than a long warm bath, if that makes sense. I personally adore this album most of all! Love the chirping birds, makes me feel somehow...free..."
