What If 2027: Effigy and Temple applications are now open!  

Temple Burn in the Forest 2019 Snug Lake

Submit your vision by Sunday, January at 11:59pm 

We invite you to design two pivotal pieces for our gathering:

  • the Effigy, a symbol of our collective expression
  • the Temple, a sanctuary envisioned as the true heart of our event – a sacred, reflective space for remembrance, grief, intention-setting, stillness, and emotional integration

We’ll be sharing the 2027 theme in the next week or two, so you’ll have plenty of time to incorporate it into your design (if you want!) by the January 3 application closing!
