I visited the Natural Path Sanctuary last week to view their current outdoor art exhibit, titled “Earth Dance 2019.” This is the fourth year that area artists have created installations in the woods, using only materials that can safely decompose back into the land. I saw the 2017 exhibit and wrote about it in this post. This year’s exhibit was just as delightful.


An arrangement of logs, sticks, bark and vines. And another grouping.


Viewers were invited to be still, listen, then write the word that came to us. The joint wisdom, secrets, longings and blessings will be released as the piece decomposes. All I heard was the spirit of my son Peter. Here’s a closeup of the cloth I decorated and tied on.

A closeup of one of the hanging parts – an oak leaf attached to burlap. And another. An egg shell attached to burlap.






The Earth Dance 2019 exhibit will be up for public view until November 2, 2019. Visit the Natural Path Sanctuary anytime from sun-up to sun-down and take a walk through the woods. You can find it just off Highway 151, at 2299 Spring Rose Road in Verona, Wisconsin.
Thank you for sharing, I love natural art, these are all beautiful!
