Eve and Eryn, two amazing Free Spirit Sphere tree houses, are located in Vancouver, Canada, high up in the canopy of the West Coast rainforest. They are, as their creators describe, ‘suspended like pendants from a web of rope’ from the trees. This is a unique way of creating unobtrusive means of living amongst nature. Insulated and set up for one or two people to stay in, these spheres allow people to experience the ‘energy shift’ that occurs ‘once one breaks contact with the ground’.
Staying in either Eve or Eryn is an ephemeral experience, with each sphere staying in the trees for only a matter of days. At the end of a stay, the whole thing, including stairs and suspension bridges for access, it is removed, ‘without a trace’. Free Spirit Spheres also sells tree houses made from either wood or fibreglass allowing people, if they wish, to take the experience home to their own backyard.

The spheres are actually in the forest near Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island, some 127 kilometers and 3.5 hours away from Vancouver.

Dear mtm I stayed in one of these spheres and pictures will never do them justice. Just to be inside one and look out the windows into the forest is just the most amazing thing. It is a completely indescribable experience. One man makes these all himself as a labor of love. All the interior and wood work is done over numerous pain staking hours. It was such a wonderful gift to spend a night in a sphere. The planning, thought, and skill to incorporate all that he has in each sphere is pure genius. The one I was in was not quite like this one but I suppose it was quite similar. I suggest anyone that loves nature make whatever journey they have to to go and stay in a sphere one day.
