Sacred Seed at Burning Seed 2019
Sacred Seed went to Burning Seed, Australia's largest Burning Man event, in 2019. We were set up in the same forest as 2018, with The Orphanage and alongside First Camp and near the Yiddamarra fire circle. This time the Sacred Seed Journey took you much deeper into the forest, leading participants to a number of interactive stations along the way. Workshops were well attended, and the Sacred Seed team of humans were awesome. Remember to click on pictures for larger view!

Sacred Spaces and Journeys
|
Hannah specialises in creating sacred spaces out of fabric, designed to be hung in forests or existing structures.
Her designs aim not to dictate a prescribed belief, but to provide a space for people to encounter whatever they are needing to feel and receive. Designs of the sacred spaces vary according to the structure it is hung on, but all aim to be a restful reflective space, that can be used either individually, or for group work. |
Hannah uses methods of 'doorways' - gateways which help people relax as they enter the space. People will walk through a number of doorways before entering the inner sanctum area.
Her installation pieces follow methods passed down through generations, keeping alive of the traditions of our grandmothers. Her work has an environmental focus. Most fabric is sourced from sustainable methods where possible (second-hand shops). |
Part of the installation involves an opportunity to reflect on personal blessings, and write prayers, which are then tied to the installation.
These prayers are collected and are being made into a larger artwork.
Alternatively when doing private group work, we can enact other rituals (such as burning) to give closure to the process.
