Join Becky Lyon / ELASTIC FICTION for the second in a series of 8 art-practice-led gatherings following and drawing attention to seasonal rhythms, patterns of place and earth-centric chronology.

We start 2022 with an early morning gathering marking the first seasonal shift of the year - the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, traditionally celebrated as Imbolc in pagan and Celtic traditions. Whilst mid-winter was a cue to replenish, Imbolc is a cue to spring into action and ready ourselves for regrowth! We’ll explore ‘awakening’ as a motivating verb drawing on insights from ecology. We’ll wake up the body through gentle movement with Tai Chi practitioner and artist Fin Forbes-Gower; converse whilst we craft with textile artist and sustainable maker Laura Buckle and wander with words through the unique urban woodland of Phytology.
