The "Temple of Transmutation" is a structure made of spiraling willow branches and an altar in the center with a fountain, instruments, boxes and hourglasses.  The soundscape is composed by chimes played by the wind, singing bowls that visitors can interact with, the trickling of the water in the central fountain and other sounds of nature.

Visitors are invited to reflect upon that which they wish to transmute from one form into another. Then, they may express it on paper and whisper it to the air to let it go, dip it in the water so it shall flow, and bury it in the earth so it may grow. In a ceremony at the end, we light the transmutations with fire, so they will glow.
