My feedback from this past summer's experience...
Amazing synergy in creation of the space. Although many reasons impacted the intended start time/date of the installation, the overall impact was astounding. What a weekend!
Some things I would like to see this year:
Business or personal sponsorships:
- Donations from people offering support or the space
- Money helps to pay for decor, tents and dome, constructions costs
- Donors seeking recognition may have their name displayed on a gratitude plaque of our creation
Larger dome, in the trees, slightly away from the main path
- Risers inside support a raised surface to chill on, or for massage sessions. Around the crystal altar at the centre, on the floor people gather to meditate, share bodywork or quiet conversation with the risers to rest back on. A salt crystal lamp in the center casts a soft amber hue into the corners of the tent, decked out with fabrics, lanterns, and incense smoke drifting within.
Single table massage tents:
- Scattered in the area in wooded spots, slightly away from the main causeway, but visible enough to encourage interest
- with optional privacy tarp door, which may also be used to keep the spaces closed and safe from damage at night.
- Perhaps practitioners can sign up for session times, where they put a deposit(?) down on the table, to ensure table time is not wasted. Whatever system is decided on and used, it must be clear and delineated in some fashion and made apparent to all contributing practitioners. Money received from tent deposits/bookings and commissions will go to cover the tent rental costs.
A public outdoor sheltered space (similar to the Qwan Yin chill zone Paloma was tending) to act as a "lobby" for the zone. During the daytime, people can collect here, sign up for massage times, etc.... Massages can be booked in private tents, for practitioners boing clothes off oil massage, etc. Dome open with a number of massage chairs and spaces, booked similarily to the tents.
Nighttime in the zone is a very different vibe, thus a different model may be used to delineate the purpose and intention of the space at those times, as well as agreeing on the usage. I think the outdoor area, with candles, heater, and pool of water, acts as a collective space and a buffer of sorts to filter the tourism factor busting into the dome's vibe in the nighttime....people walk in to the 'zone', and feel the resonance transforming their energetic being. If they respond and choose to engage they chill by the pond, opportunities for body work, entheogenic exploration, healing conversations and more emerge in abundance...Carried through to impromptu embodywork sessions around the fire or in the dome, (or in the single table tents if available and agreed upon).
Please check out the images below for my quick sketch renditions of the ideal space as I see it so far. Getting the ball rolling for active creative collaborative envisioning and manifestation.......
