The Tethered Heart Space is an exhibition of upcycling, and a space for community. The space is made of a retired hot air balloon that no longer flies where Crystal hosts synchronized sound baths and guided meditations. The balloon space is tended to by pilot Brian Lynch and provided by Reach for the Stars, a non profit organization providing accessible balloon rides to those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.

Reach for the Stars Hot Air Balloon Foundation is a California non-profit corporation based in Riverside County and recognized 501c3 corporation. Their mission is to share the joy and excitement of hot air ballooning with all people, especially those with physical challenges.
Unique, easy-entry custom baskets allow people with limited mobility, as well as wheelchair users, to experience a tethered ride or a traditional flight.
The foundation seeks to have the balloon experience available to community events, camps, balloon festivals, organizations and corporations as well as to individuals wanting a private flight. As one of only a handful of wheelchair accessible hot air balloons in the entire U.S., and the only one operating as a non-profit, Reach for the Stars is a very special entity that can provide a unique life experience for people with limited mobility.
