The Cosmic Temple of Care
When was the last time you felt cared for? How do you like to care for others? What do you care about in life? Do you feel held by the Universe?
Carson Parkin-Fairley presents The Cosmic Temple of Care. A interactive installation consisting of a small thoughtful space where rituals and gentle acts of care take centre stage. You’ll be presented with an offer from Carson to wash your hands or feet with a bar of soap called Luck – a way to wish you well on whatever path you’re walking. During which you’ll partake in a conversation around care. The concept, how it makes you feel, where you wished you’d had more of it. After this ritual, you can leave a wish, or an offering, beneath the shrine, and pick a card — a Message or a Mantra from the Temple — to take with you.
The Cosmic Temple of Care invites you to take a moment to honour the small yet sacred ways in which we care.
