“Simply being in the presence of a giant Sequoia tree catalyses an experience that embeds us in planetary cycles and shared natural rhythms. If you could explore yourself, you would discover that just under your skin you are a branching being made of rivers, whirlpools and ripples in the tides of existence. Bringing the invisible into this view and exploring the symbiosis of everything can transform our understanding of the world – and how we interact with it.”
- Robin McNicholas of Marshmallow Laser Feast
