Imagine yourself surrounded by trailing green leaves, fuzzy moss underfoot, the smell of natures morning breath, kind of like soil and humidity. Rather than disturbing all that beauty, take it all in suspended above the forest in a Tree Tent. They are made by UK design group Luminair who wanted to provide a shelter less intrusive to wildlife primarily for campers and forest rangers. The sphere pod hovers over the plants, insects, and passing through animals as if no one was ever there. They were designed in this shape so rain water would easily run off. The standard tent is made with a waterproof cotton canvas that resists UV damage, insulated with wool for warmth. Available options include amenities such as wood stove, water, and renewable electricity.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
