We are nature, not separate to it but immersed. Whether we live in the city or the countryside, we are embedded in a landscape, an ecology, physically and emotionally. We’ll discuss, write together and share work about this deep connection, tapping into the instinct we had as children, exploring the many layers of nature, history, human impact, experience, memory in a lived and embodied landscape.
