Altar of Awen: Temple of Reflection, House of the Radiant Heart is an interactive sculptural environment that serves as both a literal and figurative reflective space, inspired by the Welsh concept of inspiration, where the heart and creativity converge.

A diamond structure of steel featuring two-way acrylic “glass” creates a unique observational mirror effect. During the day, participants on the outside see reflections of themselves and the environment. As night falls and the light diminishes, the interior of the structure becomes more visible, inviting onlookers into a world of shared creativity and inspiration. The centerpiece of this sculpture, the Altar, symbolizes the convergence of emotion and creativity.

The Chosen Family lounge area is a funky fantastic little place where you may just find a minute to relax with those beautiful playa people that mean the most to you.

In the dust and flame of the playa rises Free Spirits, a shrine for the soul’s shadows. At its core: a confessional with no gods, no gatekeepers—only you. Step inside. Speak the unspeakable. Whisper your sins, your fears, your forgotten selves into the silence. There’s no judgment here, only the echo of your own voice and the weight you choose to leave behind and leave lighter.

“Free Spirits” honors the idea that the path to freedom starts by being radically honest with the self.

The heart of Haven is a magnificent nest belonging to Big Magical Birds (BMBs)—trans-dimensional beings that defy human notions of time, space, gender, and nature. Encounters with a BMB are fleeting yet transformative, instilling joy, clarity, and acceptance.

One such BMB arrived in our universe to lay its rare eggs. Unable to stay, it built its nest from the detritus of humans—scrap metal, glowing fragments, and shards of glass—infused with beauty and strength. The eggs lie at the center, needing warmth to hatch. Drawn by this powerful force, earthly birds gather as caretakers, and we, the Flaming Lotus Girls, have been called upon to use our talents with fire to nurture this shared act of creation.

This is the skeleton of a honky tonk with the beating heart of a working jukebox giving it life. There is a dance floor, a coat rack, and a place to set your drink. Oh, and a chandelier, so it’s open all night.

This welcoming dried-up watering hole invites all who wander to dance. Or just sit and listen to an old country song. Ain’t much else to it.

Remember the magic of holding someone’s hand for the first time? This piece transforms that feeling into an interactive experience of lights, sounds, and vibrations. Stand amongst five beautiful, enormous humanoid sculptures, hold their hands… then hold the person’s hand next to you… and instantly experience the power of human connection!

Take a ride through playa, twists and turns, ups and downs. But NO BRAKES!

Out the Other is a sculpture of a woman embracing herself. The piece expresses a struggle with the emotional impact of what we receive from others, focusing on the challenge of filtering out negativity to nurture a reliant inner voice that can allow us to heal from within. It also reflects on the inner landscape of feminine empathy in response to the heaviness of the present world. Visitors can step onto the sculpture base and speak into its ears. Using AI, the original words are reframed as a positive affirmation directed toward self-empowerment; the piece ‘hears’ the visitor and responds to itself in its own voice.

Know thyself?

Two towering Sphinxes with laser eyes invite seekers on an immersive quest to uncover hidden wisdom and unlock their potential.

They challenge everyone to be the hero, on a lifetime journey through their inner landscape to become their truest self. Our world needs us to be whole, creative, and connected!

Inspired by the Neverending Story, to pass through the Gate one must explore the depths of one’s being – through the lenses of Breath, Body, Mind, Heart, Destiny, and Community.

With art, technology, and the dance of playful discovery, a passage between worlds is woven. Seekers do not merely witness; they remember. Healing is not sought, but revealed, where the self and the collective meet in the riddle of the Sphinx.

The Black Rock Point is part of the “Sonomia” oceanic rock assemblage. It is Permian volcanic rock (298.9 to 251.9 million years ago) and probably a shallow intrusion, not a lava flow (Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area.)

Thread is an immersive and sculptural experience that evokes the expression of human connection through touch-driven interactivity and illumination. The sculpture invites participants to explore, connect with one another, and reveal the secrets of the piece.

Thread is about the beauty and resilience of meaningful relationships. Relationships—romantic, platonic, or undefined—are constantly evolving, shifting between closeness and distance, ease and tension. Yet, even as lives diverge, a subtle thread of connection persists. It is a tribute to the profound experience of reconnecting with someone significant, as if no time has passed—reminding us of the beauty and power that lie in these lasting bonds.
