(Re)connection to Nature with Tara Jettoo

Facilitated by trainee medical herbalist and urban foraging enthusiast, Tara Jettoo, this workshop invites you take some time out to breathe and meet the plants around us every day and find beauty in the herbs that crop up between paving stones or in the hedgerows of our local parks. It will involve a blind tea tasting, a chat about our favourite herbs, an opportunity to meet the herbs in person and a barefoot meditation in the courtyard.

Songs of Resistance

In this interactive session, climate justice speaker, storyteller and musician Emmanuela Yogolelo shares experiences of climate justice in the Global South through music and storytelling.

Emmanuela explores climate change’s links to colonialism, wars and displacement in the Democratic Republic of Congo, using this as a starting point for song writing. The session culminates in a group performance of the music co-written in the workshop.
