Join us for our next wonder | wander in the tumbling, crumbling Abney Park Cemetery. A verdant space where nature wraps her ever-loving green tendrils around the final resting places of poets, lion tamers, and non-conformists.
Come and dream the dream of life as it turns into the deep slumber of death. In times when we find ourselves surrounded by loss, what can we learn from nature about regeneration and letting go?
Come and explore the longest sleep with us through creativity, guided prompts and visual journeying to explore our collective curiosity around death and dark humour, the joy of rot and decay!, contesting contamination and grounding meditations. This walking trees collective unique collaboration with artist Barney Pau who will be leading some delicious and curious food activations responding to the space and seasons.
