A SERIES OF READINGS PERFORMED BY LOCAL ACTORS
Exploring the Anthropocene through storytelling, the public is invited to join performers on benches in the English Garden in Battersea Park, to listen to an intimate reading of the selected texts. Scrutinise our flirtatious, sometime amorous and hateful relationship to Nature, through a selection of texts by J.G Ballard, Edouard Glissant, Donna Haraway, Ursula Le Guin to name a few.
The selection of texts will endeavour to demonstrate the complex range of sentiments expressed toward the ‘object’ of Nature, posing the question to see whether these sentiments might have shaped our environment.
Drop-in event for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Paper Poppies Installation – Horniman Museum. Hundreds of delicate handmade paper poppies, made by all children of all ages from Horniman Primary School.
Come along and enjoy our paper poppies installation, learn how to make your own wild paper poppy to take home, or add to surrounding area, guerrilla style

After a hard day’s work in the garden why not consider the benefits of Pranic healing?
This non-touch energy therapy can accelerate the healing process to address physical and emotional imbalances, engaging with nature around us. The technique can give happiness and clarity of mind, which you can learn to use yourself.
You are welcome to come to one of our talks and a demonstration.
