The Secret Tent. Commissioned by Larmer Tree Festival. In collaboration with Hunter-Gatherers. I was invited to run an origami workshop in their Secret Tent at blissful Larmer Tree Festival (14-17th July) in Dorset. I can’t wait to go back there next year.

(via: hunter-gatherers)

You will never find The Secret Tent unless you are invited. A limited number of maps leading to the tent’s location will be secretly released during the festival. If you are approached by a stranger or find yourself in an unusual conversation, perhaps you have been invited. Check your bags and pockets, you might now have a map. If you choose to follow the map mysterious treats await you. Perhaps you will enter a Japanese tea tent or a private gig or stumble upon an exclusive wine tasting, perhaps if you are lucky, you may find yourself facing your future.

The invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Last weekend, on Saturday the 11th June 2011, I attended my friends Louise and Anthony’s wedding - an understated yet powerful and spiritual ceremony held under the ancient oak tree surrounded by the ruins of a castle in the Oxon countryside. It was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever attended and here I wanted to share the awesome reading from the ceremony read by Anthony’s friend, Judy.

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon…
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.

It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Trill Summer Week

I’ll be exhibiting Giant Origami Chickens on the farm and running origami workshops on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th August.

Trill Summer Week is a Four-Day family event held on a beautiful Devon farm, near Axminster.

There will be a whole host of inspiring activities run by some of the UK’s most exciting and groundbreaking artists, cooks, musicians and adventurists. It’s all about being creative, having fun and connecting with nature - you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wildlife around the farm as well as exploring and experimenting with art, craft and music…

You could come for the day, join us for the evening, or if you would like to stay longer we have a beautiful meadow campsite. If you fancy a change we have classic tipis, a gypsy wagon and a luxurious yurt. You can buy tickets on arrival but to ensure your place it’s best to book in advance.

The Trill Trust is hosting this Summer Week at Trill Farm. It is an education charity (charity no. 4172005) which aims to inspire healthy and responsible living, and an understanding of how deeply interconnected these ideals are with the natural world.

The Process - Lotus Flower

Brighton Festival 2011 commission: “2000 Lotus Flowers”

Aung San Suu Kyi’s release in 2010 was a true moment of celebration, but there are still over 2,100 political prisoners in Burma. To raise awareness of this, I was commissioned by the Brighton Dome and Festival to lead the project to make over 2,000 flowers to represent each detainee. The lotus flower represents freedom and purity and is a global emblem of new beginnings and positive change. At the end of the Festival, on Sunday 29th May 2011, these flowers will be taken to the Freedom Picnic in Queens Park for a final installation piece. 10 giant lotus flowers can be seen floating on the pond within the park.
