Art for the moment and trees for the generations of the future
)'(
The Tree Circle reminds us of those who were here long before our grandparents were born, and who will stand tall long beyond the passing of our children. Roots anchored deep into the ground and branches reaching towards the infinite.
Nature’s majesty in co-creation with human hands.
The intention is to create sacred space for transformational experiences, where as a tribe we come together and reach states of collective coherence, supported by the power of sound, frequency, intention, and dance.
We are very honoured to have received an honorarium grant from the Burning Man Organisation. However - as it covers around a third of the total project cost - we also need your support to make the project reality!
We have a milestone of $11,000 to reach by the 8th of May to be
able to proceed.
Our full fundraising goal of $33,000 will go directly
towards sourcing, preparing and transporting bamboo, timber, lights
and sound equipment, as well as access to workshops, tools and power
supply, live experience equipment, and temporary infrastructure for
the build team. The crew is giving a huge amount of their time and
knowledge and effort.
Every contribution, big or small, gets us one step closer. For
every contribution, we will plant a tree.
We are very thankful for your generosity.

Left: Tree Circle, Northern Ireland, by Gordon Dunn. Right: Giant Redwoods, California
Tree Circle takes inspiration from Scandinavian oak mounds, Irish fairy forts, and the giant redwood circles in California - living temples.
Natural material forms a circle of seven standing structures - tree trunks to 1:1 scale. They are hollow as if burnt from the inside, referencing the burnt redwood circles on the coast of California. Like fractals, each tree creates a circular space within themselves and together a circular open space. A subtle soundscape of low frequencies, composed by sound artist Alquem, will be playing inside each tree for the duration of the week. They will promote stress release, groundedness, and harmony. At night, lights on top of each tree will act as an extension of the trees into the sky.

The Circle
In a circle we are all together,
all equal, all playing a necessary role in holding together the whole.
Trees
Humanity have always lived in symbiosis with the plant world. We support each other and feed off each other. Our role in planting, tending, and protecting trees for the benefit of all, is an art that in many modern societies have been forgotten.
Redwood circles, by Dr Lee Klinger
Frequency
The intention is to create an opportunity for people to come together in a moment of collective coherence where we can experience what it feels like to be in full presence together, as we flow from stillness to dance.
Bamboo
As a giant grass that can live on nutrient sparse soil, requires
no pesticides, and quickly regenerates itself, bamboo is a superb
natural carbon locker, growing along the full length of the equator.
Its strength, light weight, and quick preparation without the
need for industrial machinery, makes it an excellent sustainable
construction material.
Our aim is to create awareness of the many possibilities of
using bamboo as a material,
and to support and celebrate the skills of the bamboo artisans -
a craftsmanship unfortunately being lost with the changes of generations.

The Artists
Led by Eira Mooney and Hector Fabio Garces (Alquem), we are an international collective of artists, architects, musicians, engineers, dreamers and makers. We all love to dance.
Our routes grew through Sweden, Ireland, Colombia, Great Britain, United States, Italy, France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, South Africa, Argentina, Greece and Spain.
Our branches have no borders.

Parallel to a beautiful art installation which grounds nature based spirituality onto Playa, the art that we would like to bring to the rest of the world is real tree circles. In co-creation with nature, the intention is to create spaces for transformational experiences by planting tree circles for future generations.
Collaborating with communities across the globe, we will together with land owners, arborists and artists, map out and make long term plans to plant and maintain tree circles of local species.
We would love to collaborate with you.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION
With love
