Healing Garden
Spaces in this world:
Statement:
The "Healing Garden" (https://www.artofxinyi.com/healing-garden) is a community art project created by Xinyi Zhang (@artofxinyi) to facilitate personal healing and transformation through visual symbols. The concept is inspired by the artist's personal experience of working with archetypal imagery in her art practice, which she uses to release limiting beliefs and reclaim personal power. The virtual metaphysical sacred space of the Garden will be accessible to all who interact with it.
To participate, enter the Garden and complete the short meditation at the Object Creation Sanctum (show in the main image) to come up with your personal ritual object. Then fill out the form at: https://www.artofxinyi.com/healing-garden-form. Xinyi will channel your personal “healing object” for you. A selection of these objects will then reside in the garden, where the collective energy of the participants' positive visions will be nourished to grow.
3D Environment Description:
The Healing Garden is an immersive, sacred space for nourishing positive visions for ourselves and our communities. Contained within the garden are various "Healing Garden Objects" encoding the visions created by visitors.
Enter the Garden and find the guided meditation journey to create your personal "Healing Object", and submit it for inclusion in the garden at: https://www.artofxinyi.com/healing-garden-form
