Saguaro Man Art
The Temple of the Four Directions stands as a symbol of the elements of
our life on planet Earth. Inspired by the sacred Native American Medicire
Wheel, the Temple of the Four Directions shows not only our connections
with our mother Earth, but our connections and "oneness" with each other.
Each direction, East, South, West, and North gives us guidance through
every stage of our Jives as well as spirit guides, healing plants, our life and
death cycles. It represents all that we are are and honor what we see on
the outside and what we are on the inside.
It is my intent to express these concepts
through art and to continue the tradition of
creating a sacred space for the community. I
hope in doing so, to honor the wisdom and
spiritual connection of our ancestors and to
each of us as well.
Th.e Temple of the Four Directions invites all of you to come MeditatePray—Laugh—Cry -Celebrate—Heal—Love.

Hand-Held Lasers
Small lasers are cheaper and more powerful than ever before, which means
they are more prevalent and cause more of a risk to public safety @ Saguaro
Man. Hand-held lasers at burns have always been annoying, but they're also
dangerous. When the Burn perimeter is set Rangers Eg. Staff are facing
outward, so the lasers you're zapping the art with are aimed at their faces —
as well as the faces of participants across the circle from you. Hand-held lasers
you can buy on the Internet can blind people. They are not toys.
You are not Han Solo. I am not Darth fader, You must never shine a lase- of
any size into anyone's eyes, including your own.
Anything larger than a handheld laser MUST be mounted 7 feet above the
ground and MUST be aimed upwards above the tree line. This will help
protect our eyes, and may protect us from extra terrestrial interference.
If you bring a laser, you take personal responsibility for the safe use Tr tha:
laser.
Use common sense. Don't point lasers at people.
