Starhenge and the World Peace Bell Gardens Project is a creation of Don
Conreaux and the Mysterious Tremendum, under the sponsorship of
The American Festival of Microtonal Music, a 501(c)3 not for profit
organization, and the Richard Glyn Foundation, a registered UK Charity.
Don Conreaux has brought sacred sounds to people throughout the world. It
was during his travels that he conceived the idea of an international
network of Starhenges, to link profound sites and their peoples with each
other and with cosmic energies. Don laid out the Dorset England Starhenge in
Summer 2000.
Sister Projects are also pending with NYC Department of Parks and Recreation
, and in development at Mary Cairncross Rainforest Park in Northern
Australia.
