"Enter into the Chambers, a place for exploration and discovery. Let your imagination take you away, transform your space and your mindset!"

Shaded Chambers

was a huge success this weekend! I couldn't believe how many people came out.

had a large central room for hanging out, and then four rooms off the sides, made of two small scout domes, and two nomads. There was the

Chamber of Rebirth

, the

Chamber of Reflection

, the

Chamber of Exchange

, and the

Chamber of Transformation

. Together they made a series of experiences that was able to shift the energy and experience of the participants.

The end result turned out incredible. We were so full of participants that I could barely move at times, and I had more than a few conversations with people who were extremely engaged or touched by the spaces.

The entire weekend absolutely reinforced in us that these

domes are functional artistic spaces, and with the added intentionality to make these into engaging art installations, these domes truly fulfill their purpose.

"This is space for quiet reflection. Please enter with care by spreading the diaphragm. Enjoy the enclosure, the quiet, and the visual environment within. Focus on the warmth, the diffused light, the soft texture. This is a space for the senses to be calmed. If you could be reborn from this space, who might emerge?"

“Our reflections of ourselves are not always clear and accurate. We all have a distorted identity, we may see ourselves one way, others may see us another way. Look into the surfaces and think about what you see. By leaving a self reflection, you are contributing a piece of yourself to this temporary communal identity."

“Inside this tent, artists will be on-hand throughout the weekend to face paint participants. All participants will be painted to match the tent, with a pattern of green spots on a black background. Face painting offers an experience of anonymity through the expression of an alternate self. The Chamber of Transformation offers the peculiar pairing of anonymity through the obstruction of identity alongside the recognition of belonging to a temporary community.”

“This is a dome that people can enter into to practice the skill of letting go of the bad and receiving the good. When we set the intention to let go of things we don’t want in life, we start the process that is necessary for removal, and when we ask for things we desire, we are making space to receive them. The intentional action prepares us to change the energy in our lives. the purpose of the Chamber of Exchange is to help start this process.”
