Event info:
Come and get orbital with us as our planet tilts to face to the sun. It’s the madness of midsummer, the days are long and the nights are short. Up above our winged companions have returned from long journeys to their summer homes and down below everything’s buzzing and getting busy.
We will be wandering through the rich ecology and history of Foots Cray Meadow, a haven of biodiversity, home to crested newts, pipstrelle bats, grey daggers, mottled beauties, scarce footman and scorched carpets - scorched what? I hear you cry! Come and join us to find out!
During the wander, we will guide you with creative prompts including writing, drawing, movement, poetry and storytelling. Through the power and sensitivity of art, we invite you on a journey of cosmic re-enchantment in midsummer meadows, thinking how our planet's tilting and orbital journey works in harmony with the rhythms and cycles of all its inhabitants. Together we will make kin with unexpected forces, celebrate absurdity and find power in deep attention to the living breathing earth.
Come along to move, ponder, reinvigorate and reflect as a group - above all else, this is a lovely way to meet new people, be outside moving and to learn about ecology through creative engagement.
No previous art is necessary and all materials, snacks and tea are provided. We try to make our walks as accessible as possible, please let us know if you require specific access needs, we’d love to hear from you.
Come with an open mind and an experimental hat and let’s explore our cosmic connections together! We are a LGBTQIA+ space open to all and all backgrounds.
Any questions, please message and we’ll come back to you as soon as possible.
Oh and please share with anyone/community networks who you think will love this! 🔥
