RADICAL PARTICIPATION
Visitors are invited to 'take refuge' from their wandering and relax away from additional stimuli. They are asked to remain silent in and around the space, and if necessary communicate to one another in writing.
The space exists principally for meditation, but one may also choose to simply rest.
A "queue" system is available to manage the number of people within. A selection of small wooden tags hanging from a post outside are "checked in and checked out".
THE MISSION
The intention is to provide a unique experience on the Playa where so much art, in particular music, tends to melt into itself.
Through mindful participation, this refuge is meant to provide a space closer to silence so that one may rest and consider their body and mind. Visitors collaborate with intention by maintaining a collective silence.
The essence of the art is the shared peace which manifests.
Within resides a space for restful mediation. At its center, a simple object for contemplation.
