 Community 

To educate and inspire change towards Replenishing Earth rather than sustaining the status quo.       

Create by design and innovation away from landfill sites. 

Eco Futurism

Replenish Earth is a community of the avant garde, living closely with natural systems, experimenting and exploring the moonshots of eco-futurism. We prize ourselves in helping our members see the cracks in the legacy systems we have inherited. We retrocast futures that are more aligned with replenishing earth. We concentrate on giving experiences that people will never forget. 

 The personal journey towards living in harmony with nature is fraught with challenges. The first is to identify with ‘waste’. Often we negate its presence, blind to the responsibility of waste being our responsibility. Where do we begin when we recognise the journey is of self-empowerment as well as an existential journey towards an identity beyond consumerism. We crave acceptance by brands when we buy their products (i.e. “open happiness when you open a coca cola”). What happens when the insecurity caused by sadness is met by branded emotions? We substitute our emotional longing with branded goods that promise the fulfillment of them. Yet, there is no glass bottle of a sugary drink that can sustain contentment...if there is - I’d like to know. So where do we begin in exploring post-consumerism?

The music of the Tree Temple is an audio atmosphere designed to create a representation of the tree. There are two binaural beats 520 Hz center and 80 hz center with 2 Hz differential on 80 Hz and 6 hz differential on 520 Hz. These frequencies are mathematical in nature. Sounds of the spheres. Then there are a number of chimes programmed to sound like wind chimes with a random timing sequence but looped in time, to create an audio reference to the cycle of life. These are bit crushed to 8 bit. They are overlaid with a recording of an old growth cedar forest atmosphere and a time stretched breath signature. Lots of detail to produce something so simple. And therein lies the art how to encode the elements so that they exist in a harmonic structure that can appeal to the uninitiated.

The trees invite us to commune with them, nurturing our innate nature. Every step we take in the outdoors connects us with the vast ecology that replenishes us. Take your shoes off and feel the ground, allow the resonance of nature to vibrate through you. Meditate on the subterranean bioacoustics that help you to align with the multiverse.
