The retreat creates two distinct meditative spaces through its
relationships to the landscape.  The first, a floating wooden deck
measures the falling forest floor below. The second, a small, dimly lit
enclosure sinks through the ground. Both intensify a spiritual
experience of the place.I discovered that my mom was going to a secluded spot in the woods to
escape from her daily routine. She found an old and unusually large
dogwood tree, where she sat on a section of log, her “prayer stump”. A
treeless space on the other side of the small hill suggested
possibilities for additional retreat-like spaces. The situation
suggested the spatial model of a boat: a small, protective,
introspective space of a boat’s hull below an expansive floating space
of a boat’s deck.
