Introduction to Urban Rewilding

This event has passed Register

Event description

Workshop participants will now need to provide evidence of their full vaccination status or medical exemption in order to participate in on-site classes from 6 pm, 29th October. You will need to check in with our QR code and masks will need to be worn indoors. If you have a valid medical exemption, please get in touch asap. All CERES staff and contractors on site have met vaccination requirements.

Our connection to nature is an essential element of our humanity, yet connection requires more than simply getting a little fresh air or an armchair understanding.

This Introduction to Rewilding will introduce core routines of deep nature connection – practices that fast track a sense of belonging – even in the city.
Expect a hands-on workshop experience, weaving together nature sensitivity and ecological literacy as well as fire-by-friction, string making and sensory awakening.
