The Pool of the Black Star at the Manitoba Legislative Building was opened to people hoping to get in touch with their inner spirituality Friday night.

Fourteen men and women circled the edge of the black star, sitting in meditative positions with their eyes closed.

More than three dozen others sat along the borders of the perfectly circular room, with their eyes closed, inhaling the scents of sandalwood and frangipani from the Nag Champa incense that filled the room.

Sarah Hauch, a teacher of Hermeticism, led the meditation.

"Draw in the magic of this building and every beautiful being in here," said Hauch, as she circled around the black star. "I invite you today not to walk in as your human self, but to be here in your absolute divine self."
