WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
CARPENTRY & CNC
The Plan:
We are building components of the Temple and shipping them out in 10 truck loads from now until the end of July. There’s a variety of activities each week in working with wood, whether it’s loading/unloading, cutting and assembling, CNCing, milling of upcycled wood, and other wood shop activities. We welcome everyone, master carpenters and complete beginners alike, to come learn and build together!
How to Join:
In person at Build Days at The Loom - no prior experience required!
TEXTILES
The Plan:
Benches in the Temple will be adorned with 250-500 cushions to be made by the global community! Find the template here. Come sew with us at The Loom or create one that you can ship to us or bring on Playa yourself! Cushions should be delivered to the Temple build site at the Loom by July 20th.
We are also creating over 150 lantern covers to make the Temple glow! All are welcome to assist at the Loom.
How to Join:
In person at Build Days at The Loom OR remotely.
Paper arts
The Plan:
Graceful, pendant-shaped wish lanterns made of vellum will be assembled and installed on Playa. 100 of the wish lanterns that will be placed in the chapels will feature handwritten dedications (or “wishes”) submitted by the global community.
How to Join:
If you feel called to submit a dedication, please contribute it in this form here. The form will be open until July 27, or when we have received 100 dedications.
