With love
Eira & Alquem
The core build crew, the souls of the project who over countless hours poured their hearts, skills and resources into Tree Circle to bring it to life.
~
For your ongoing support - we could never have done it without you.
~
For an array of physical, mental, musical and financial support. It takes a village to raise a child.
~
The sudden realisation that you are intrinsically and ultimately connected to everything.
That you are insignificantly small in the context of infinity, yet, you are infinite.
In those moments, we are home.
The Tree Circle reminds us of those who were here long before our grandparents were born, and who will stand tall long beyond the passing of our children. Roots anchored deep into the ground and branches reaching towards the infinite.
Nature’s majesty in co-creation with human hands.
Sacred space for transformational experiences, where as a tribe we come together and reach states of collective coherence, supported by the power of sound, frequency, intention, and dance.

The Tree Circle build crew is an international collective of artists, architects, musicians, dreamers and makers.
We all love to dance.
Our routes grew through Sweden, Ireland, Colombia, Great Britain, United States, Italy, France, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa, Spain, Bulgaria, Mexico, India and Canada.
Our branches have no borders.
Art for the moment and trees for the generations of the future
Tree Circle takes inspiration from Scandinavian oak mounds, Irish fairy forts, and the giant redwood circles in California - living temples.
Humanity have always lived in symbiosis with the plant world. We support each other and feed off each other. Our role in planting, tending, and protecting trees for the benefit of all, is an art that in many modern societies have been forgotten.
The Circle
In a circle we are all together, all equal, all playing a necessary role in holding together the whole.
Trees
Humanity have always lived in symbiosis with the plant world. We support each other and feed off each other. Our role in planting, tending, and protecting trees for the benefit of all, is an art that in many modern societies have been forgotten.
Frequency
The intention is to create an opportunity for people to come together in a moment of collective coherence where we can experience what it feels like to be in full presence together, as we flow from stillness to dance.
Bamboo
As a giant grass that can live on nutrient sparse soil, requires no pesticides, and quickly regenerates itself, bamboo is a superb natural carbon locker, growing along the full length of the equator. Its strength, light weight, and quick preparation without the need for industrial machinery, makes it an excellent sustainable construction material.
Our aim is to create awareness of the many possibilities of using bamboo as a material, and to support and celebrate the skills of the bamboo artisans - a craftsmanship unfortunately being lost with the changes of generations.
Alquem
Dance ritual - our prayers.
A collective audio visual journey exploring altered states of consciousness through binaural beats meditation, breath and dance.

The work continues.
Our vision is to raise awareness of our role of tending forests while making spaces available for communities to come together under the sun and stars - supporting nature while creating space for transformational experiences.
Collaborating with communities across the globe, we will together with land guardians, arborists, local residents, blockchain developers and artists, map out and make long term plans to plant and maintain tree circles of local species. We are currently working with three non for profit organisations located in Sweden, UK, and the US. The plan includes further to protect and aid the living conditions of elder trees, already centuries old.
We would love to collaborate with you.
