Free Spirit Spheres in Vancouver
Thu, Aug 13, 2009
I want to sway here!
Swaying up in the trees in a forest in Vancouver, you will find these orb-like structures that were born out of a kid’s dream in a new age mind. The spheres are a marriage of sailboat and tree house technology.
Tom, the inventor, suspends Eve and Eryn (the two spheres) up among the trees on private land in Vancouver Island. He chose to do so because he wanted to do something different, to “live in and among the trees and use them as a foundation” and to be “like a bird in a nest”. Sleeping in sphere is like “floating in a canopy among the sleeping birds”.
There are two spheres. Eve, small and petite is perfect for the individual traveler. Eryn on the other hand is the larger of the two, has 5 windows, a well-appointed interior with galley, table/sitting area, double bed and loft bed, Eryn can sleep three.
The spheres hang on ropes and float in space. In this space, Tom claims to feel a state of blissfull awareness of an existence outside the body.
I had an instant pull in my soul when I learned about this spheres. And soon I hope to be climbing up the spiral staircase to bond with Eryn.

If you are looking for a real connection with the forest canopy then you should plan on a night in Vancouver Island Golden Globes. The most unique accommodation on Van Isle!
At the start of each year I write my intentions. Visiting Vancouver is on it again. For the 3rd year in a row. I have to figure out how to get there this year.
