This is the second episode of the Treehouse Project, a series of six guided meditations designed to root people into their bodies, to restore the relationship between Self and Body, Us and Land.

This project unfolds as an interactive multimedia art exhibit. It moves between meditation, storytelling, and direct action,

This guided meditation was designed to help you transition out of the day and into deep rest*. Through breath, body awareness, and gentle surrender, you will be guided into a state of relaxation, allowing your nervous system to settle and your mind to quiet. As you soften into sleep, a nighttime story told by the great Myth teller, Alice, will accompany you into the dream world, inviting your imagination to drift into restful wonder. *

For the best experience, I recommend listening with headphones, in a quiet, comfortable space with soft or low lighting. Let this be a moment just for you.

Each meditation in this series is part of a fundraiser for the forests. With this episode, I am donating to the Ancient Forest Alliance, an organization working to protect British Columbia’s endangered old-growth forests and ensure sustainable forestry practices for future generations.

Listen now and join me in protecting the forests.

* Artist Commentary:

I love the content and intention of this meditation. But the sound quality is Horrendous. The cicadas are like metallic jolts in my eardrums. There was also a real Trickster moment with the music at the end that, for artist integrity, I could not change.

As a piece of art, come bear witness. But as an actual mental health resource... I’ll record a new one soon!
