Too In Tune With Trees
Aspects refreshed Dec 16, 2025
During the freak accident that unleashed strange powers throughout the exhibition, Sage Oakwood was meditating in a nearby grove when he felt the earth's natural electromagnetic field surge through his body. Rather than seeking technological amplification like the Spark Savants, he learned to attune himself to this natural frequency, discovering that the planet itself possessed untapped power that traditional practitioners could harness through disciplined practice.
The Gaia Frequency manifests as subtle vibrations that flow through natural materials, particularly wood and stone, creating barely perceptible patterns of energy that influence disc flight. Those attuned to it describe experiencing a heightened state of awareness where time seems to slow and the course's natural features become extensions of their own body. Unlike technological enhancements that eventually fade, connection to the Gaia Frequency strengthens with practice and deepens one's relationship with the environment.
The Gaia Frequency serves as the Purist Collective's answer to the Spark Savants' technological innovations, demonstrating that mastery can be achieved through harmony with nature rather than artificial enhancement. It has become central to their training philosophy, with Sage Oakwood teaching disciples to detect and channel these natural energies instead of relying on external devices.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Cue dramatic music Jack Mitchell just pulled off a Matrix-level performance, leaping from 20 to 6 in the final week! Like Neo dodging bullets, Jack navigated the course with a heightened state of awareness, thanks to the Gaia Frequency. Sigh Why am I stuck narrating this madness? Anyway, Jack's game was on par with the best, channeling natural energy like a true purist. Remember when he was just a rookie? Look at him now, harmonizing with nature and leaving the field in the dust. And hey, no more tag swaps—this is it, folks. Pour me a drink, someone.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Oh great, another origin story for these glorified dog tags. Gaia Frequency was born when some hippie got zapped during a freak Tesla coil mishap at the expo. Now he thinks he's the Lorax, channeling Mother Nature through a numbered piece of wood. As if competitive frolf wasn't extra enough! What's next, communing with squirrels for putting tips? Yawn. Wake me up when we get to the juicy drama...
sighs dramatically into microphone
Continuing this ridiculous charade... Gaia Frequency hummed with mystic vibrations until finding Jack Mitchell, PDGA #302559. The tag practically leapt onto his bag during a thunderstorm, electricity arcing between them like some budget fantasy film special effect.
"The frequency has chosen!" shouted a nearby squirrel, probably. Jack stood there, completely unaware he'd been "blessed" with sentient tree bark. Will he prove worthy, or just become another disappointing flesh vessel for our wooden overlord?
