The geometric eight-pointed star design taps back into Medieval Times. It represents the highest celestial point and the birthplace of fire. Participants will be able to write notes on flags that will then be lifted up on flag poles to sway in the wind as written offerings. There will be a central flame simulation as the place at which one can reach their highest connection to the cosmos. It offers reflection, resolution, release and renewal.
