Why Living Bridge?
A Living Bridge is handmade from the aerial roots of rubber fig trees (fiscus elastica) and conveys a multi-faceted meaning of hands-on support, communication, connectedness, hope, strength and transition. Each step across the Living Bridge represents the importance of taking care of each other as we journey through life and its many challenges.
