Sixty Entrances

Eighteen grounds, sixty entrances. Every phrase is a doorway. Multiple entrances lead to the same ground by different paths. The entrance shapes the arrival.

Architectural Principle
The entrance shapes the arrival. A visitor who arrives at The Prayers through "Holding Cell with a Bench and a Drain" has a different experience than one who arrives through "Natural Built Then Ruined or Softened Shelter."
Sixty percent outdoors. The word "grounds" was chosen because the practice is experienced more outdoors than in. Canyon basins, salt flats, peat bogs, mesa tops, fjords, limestone bluffs, river deltas. The vocabulary reflects where the work actually lives.
