Forest as Art: join Eternal Forest Movement!🌱
We are nature - across generations. Reconnect, regenerate, remember
Forest as Art: What if forests were revered as cultural treasures and intergenerational artworks?
Each Eternal Forest Sanctuary is created by bringing artistic design and regenerative design together. We begin with a deep process of listening to the land, understanding what it already holds from an ecosystemic perspective. We observe water and soil, notice the presence of animals, and map the species of plants and trees already growing there. We are guided by the voice of the land and what she could become. This is our departure point.
From there, we create a meaningful experiential design that simultaneously supports wildlife and creates habitats, while being attentive to the forest ecosystem in its complexity and how it will evolve in time and space. The sanctuary is conceived as a living artwork that grows with succession and seasons, held by long-term stewardship.
From both regenerative and aesthetic perspectives, we shape spaces for people to journey through the sanctuary: quiet seat spots, a gathering space for community, trails, and water features. We include and honour natural features and landmarks of the land, while also designing space for emergence, so that nature and culture can once again enter into a deep relationship, and the forest can keep becoming while we are making ourselves part of it.
From the Portugal News: 'Why do you want to connect art with sustainability?
‘Art allows us to see the world differently: to feel, to wonder, to care. It’s not just decoration; it’s a language of deep listening and meaning-making. When we bring art into the realm of sustainability, we humanise the ecological crisis. Suddenly, regeneration is not only about planting trees or reversing damage - it becomes about how we live, what we value, and how we tell the story of our relationship with the Earth.
In Eternal Forest, art is the connective tissue between ecology and culture. It invites people to engage not just intellectually, but emotionally and spiritually: transforming sustainability from a policy issue into a personal calling. The act of planting a tree becomes a gesture of care, a living poem, a way to write hope into the future.
Through artistic design and experiences, Eternal Forest activates local communities as stewards of the forest, actively protecting the sanctuary for future generations to create a long-lasting legacy.'
