I am so inspired by this. It amazes me to see how much love, care, and stewardship of the land is being enacted. I am in awe of the individuals who were able to come together selflessly to consult and make decisions as a unified body. This is an example for all the peoples of the earth.

It's wonderfully emotional to see the love with which the spirituality of the Temple has been so carefully considered in its siting within nature. The ecological studies themselves, never mind the glorious architecture which will follow, speak of a dedication which in itself is akin to the worship of God. A divine edifice will assuredly evolve within those beautiful, inviting woods.

Absolutely wonderful. I appreciate the deep desire to respect the landscape and include it in the overall planning. Now eagerly await building concepts. Excellent video

Reminiscent of the McMichael Art gallery. Should be beautiful. People should welcome its opening in the 24th century. 😀
