CONTEMPLATION STATIONS

In our overly frenetic and busy lives, Contemplation Stations create a space where one can step away from the work-a-day world and experience a sense of calm, tranquility, and peace. To sit in repose by yourself and view a flowing stream has the ability to quiet the mind, relax the body, and feed the soul.

 

The enveloping cocoon of each Contemplation Station is woven from plant material collected along the banks of local rivers and streams. When sitting inside these forms, the distractions of one's surroundings are minimized and attention is concentrated on the river. All of the senses are heightened when in this setting; the smell of nearby plants, the sounds of the current, the sight of branches being carried downstream, the call of birds... all are brought into focus to be more deeply appreciated.
