There are over 115 hand-carved Buddhist statues throughout the land at Eagle Dancer. Each one carries a presence—still, grounded, and somehow alive in its own way.
Years ago, we were in Bali when we first came across these riverstone statues. They were hand carved by master carvers who we met. We weren’t Buddhist, but that didn’t matter. What we felt was peace. Reverence. A quiet power that moved something in us. So we brought them here—not as decoration, but as part of the spirit we hoped to create.
When Tibetan monks visited the property a couples years ago, they walked the grounds and shared the meaning of each statue’s mudra—the sacred hand gestures you’ll see in their hands. Each one carries a message: compassion, teaching, protection, or inner stillness.
Some of the statues are tucked quietly beneath trees, others rest by the water fountains, and the largest—a 7-foot tall, 10,000-pound Buddha—stands with calm strength in the open.
These statues have become part of what makes Eagle Dancer feel the way it does. They invite you to pause. To breathe. To remember the stillness that’s always been within you.
Eagle Dancer truly wouldn’t be the same without them.
