Cathedral of White Pines

The cathedral of the white pine surrounds you.


The Fir is a celestial tree associated with protection and spirituality in many Native American tribes.


Pine is often considered to be a symbol of longevity and endurance because of its ability to withstand harsh conditions. It is a tree that can live for centuries and is able to adapt and thrive in a variety of northern and high-altitude environments.


Pine is also associated with spiritual growth and renewal. The tree's needles are evergreen, meaning they don't fall off, and it stays green throughout the year, reminding us that despite the change of seasons, nature is always growing and renewing itself.


The Japanese term Matsu loosely translates as “waiting for the soul of a god to descend from heaven”, which relates to the Shinto belief that pines are ladders used by gods to ascend to heaven
