This talk space on Nature’s Way provides a platform for thinkers and wordsmiths to enlighten and inspire, with a programme of earthy and esoteric subjects – from the magic and medicine of herbs to the mythology of diverse cultures, from a variety of spiritual and philosophic traditions to social anthropology and why festivals matter.
Here we seek inspiration to realign our human lives into the wider natural environment, and to bridge the gap between the mystical and the everyday.
When we recognise our environment is something deeply precious and beloved, we are inspired to protect it. The voices in this space speak to our hearts.
