Standing With Saguaros

Act I: I Stand with Saguaros
#IStandwithSaguaros is a campaign to befriend, support, and connect with the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) iconic species of the Sonoran Desert. If you stood with a saguaro cactus for an hour, what would you discover? Try it.

Why?
Because you’re willing to try anything once.
Because you’ve heard that standing or sitting still for a while in quiet contemplation can help reduce stress and contribute to your overall health.
Because you want to experience a new kind of theater, one in which performers and audience members are non-human.
Because …
Try it and tell others why!

**Additional group stands can be scheduled. Contact Kimi Eisele to facilitate.

Free! Fees to enter Saguaro National Park are waived if you say you are “standing with a saguaro.” However, we encourage a $10 donation (which you can offer at the entrance kiosk or in the visitor center) to help protect public lands and wilderness areas.
