Two monumental installations, standing ten metres tall, are destined to become a highlight of the Burning Man event. Comprising the Unity and Lunar Totems, the installation, quite like the original purpose of Stonehenge, provides a space for sacred ceremonies to occur around the potent symbols. The artist's vision is to elevate collective global consciousness.

The sculptures, which entwine the energies of both masculinity and femininity along with symbolism are created to be beacons of hope and unity. Intended as a focus for gatherings to spark highly conscious communication, transformation and deepens connection. Lauren Baker unveils the Wisdom Totem collection at Burning Man to promote unity on a global scale.

Supported by Celtic Chaos, and with special thanks to Natural Symphony, the Wisdom Totems can be found at 10+C on the playa, Burning Man, Nevada Desert, Black Rock City. The totems are made locally in San Francisco are made from part recycled wood and part local renewable lumber wood from a sustainably sourced farmed forest in America. The wooden totems will evolve and be adapted to be exhibited for future Burning Man seasons
