The Vision Behind the Healing Hut | A Sacred Structure Rooted in Nature
The 12-sided roundhouse we’re constructing is the first step toward the Healing Hut, a sanctuary designed for peace, meditation, and connection with the natural world. Its spiral-inspired shape draws from the Fibonacci sequence, aligning the structure with patterns found in nature. The hut is meant to hold a high vibrational field for healing, reflection, and ceremony. Participants will be part of birthing a space intended for deep restoration of both land and spirit.
