🔥🌳🌲🌳🔥 Temple Burn: Sacred Grove–A Temple of Reflection, Renewal, and Connection by Sky Ece Ulusoy

On Sunday, May 18th, perimeter will be set at 8:00 PM— flames will rise as night falls. --- Description from artist(s): The Sacred Grove is a collection of “trees,” inside of which a temple clearing has been created to host mourning, tribute, and connection. This space draws inspiration from ancient sacred groves, which were once common across cultures as places of healing. It symbolizes the cyclical nature of life—death, rebirth, and growth. Through natural materials and interactive elements, the temple invites participants to slow down, reflect, and engage in a shared experience of communal reverence. It serves as a metaphor for personal transformation, renewal, and our collective responsibility to protect the Earth. --- Accessible seating: This year, we’re making the Effigy and Temple burns even more welcoming with a dedicated accessible seating area along the perimeter. Keep an eye out for the signs to find your spot.
