Vision
Raising societal awareness of sacred wisdom through the arts.
Making Feather Panels
Laser cut card stock is glued together to make the feather panels. A varnish coat is added to protect it from the weather |
Mounting the Stem
Saplings harvested from the forest are cut along their length and stapled to the feather panels |
Raising the Feather
Raising the 11 foot high feather and moment of excitement and joy. |
Imagine creating a feather twice human scale, telling your story with colours and forms, perhaps adding some special words or images. Guided by the sacred Indigenous wisdom we make large feathers and raise them together in a field. Feathers are accessible to all peoples, they resonate with consciousness and connect our journey to community and to the earth we live on. Making the feather is about creativity, healing, resilience, community and reconciliation.
OUR GOAL
We are one community on this earth Walking with all beings |
First Let'sDiscover
Tall Feathers brings people of all walks of life both indigenous and non indigenous to share in a creative celebration of our spirit. It’s an opportunity to share in the wisdom of the elders and find resonance in our own journey.

Now let's WORK to
Create
Twenty diverse community members from various backgrounds will come together to make a feather symbolic of their personal journey. The Tall Feathers are made of coloured laser cut paper panels, coated with water based varnish, then assembled and mounted to a sapling.

IT'S UP TO USChange
Working together making the feather, they are invited to share their story and give a personal expression to the feathers. For some it will be also new insight into Indigenous wisdom one we hope will resonate with their own spirits. For others it will express their value for connection and harmony with all living beings.
