California coastal redwoods are unique to our region. New growths sprouted from the roots of the mother tree to form growing circles, aka “fairy rings.” When Sarah and Steph stood in the center of the redwood fairy ring at the Santa Cruz amphitheater, we felt the magic of these wise old giants (+150 years old). Their resilient attributes protect themselves as well as the whole community. The Heartwood at the center of the tree gives these Beasts their remarkable height and unwavering strength to withstand all of Earth’s elements and surprises. As we grow together, our story resonates with the Redwood and no better surroundings would have suited our special day.
