How We Do It!
-
First thing we need is a plant. A living plant to be exact. It is through the plant that we are able to provide the opportunity to communicate with nature itself. Utilizing technology that measures biofeedback we give the plant the ability to respond to the world.
-
By attaching electrodes to the plant, we measure electrical variations across the surface of leaves. These variations are the plant responding to its environment, such as changes in light, humidity, or touch. We then translate these signals into music allowing you to listen to the plant’s interactions! In this way the plant is given a voice!
-
Last, and certainly not least, we need YOU. It is through your interactions that create a diverse soundscape as the plant responds to your touch and your love.
How We Began!
Everlasting Leaves journey started in Sedona, AZ, where we brought the magic of plant music to a retreat, hoping to add a touch of wonder. As participants walked a labyrinth, a beautiful tree stood watch, and we thought, “Let’s have nature play today.” Sitting nearby, we watched in awe as the tree’s music responded to each person who passed, creating an intimate connection between plant and human. By the end of the meditation, we were moved to tears. Sharing with everyone that the music was coming from the tree itself was unforgettable—each guest lit up, placing their hands on its trunk in wonder. In that moment, we knew we had to bring this experience to others.
Since Spring/Summer of 2024, Everlasting Leaves has continued this journey, bringing people closer to nature through the joy, laughter, and even tears of connecting with the world around them. We are grateful to share these beautiful moments with our community and can’t wait to add a touch of natural magic to your next gathering!
