Unveiling of the Bamboo Tipi Installation
The Canopy Spirits team harvested premium local bamboo to construct an incredible tipi-like structure. This 3-D creative design was engineered by James Wolf, an international bamboo master builder and designer, bringing his skills to the sacred grounds of Arnaudville. The local builder’s team, Joshua Romero, Brittany Menard & Kathleen Whitehurst, worked with 15 other workshop participants to construct the tipi. Designed with intention, the tipi serves as both a striking visual landmark and a sacred space for meditation, gathering, storytelling, music, and reflection, surrounded by the beauty of farmland.The public is invited to participate, photograph, and be embraced by this magical circular space. Join us for the unveiling ceremony led by an elder of the Chitimacha Indian Tribe of Breaux Bridge to share education on the value of nature, plants, prairies, and forests of our precious land that we are preserving.
