I’ve been invited to speak at Human // Nature in London on 4th August, along with all kinds of intriguing people! Please join us at the Truman Brewery! Doors open 11:30.
Human // Nature
The healing of the land and the purification of the human spirit is the same process. (Masanobu Fukuoka)
How can we re-evaluate/reconcile/re-establish and more effectively understand human nature in a time that requires a whole new way of being?
The aim of this event is to explore the human/nature connection, and what it means to be human in our current crisis relationship with nature. We will aim to reconnect human & nature and re-evaluate what ‘human nature’ is through a variety of lenses.
The separation from spirit/consciousness/wisdom has led to a breakdown in both what it means to be human and our understanding of what nature actually is. We will also explore what human nature (spirit/essence) is collectively. The goal is to highlight how the two are not mutually exclusive: it is human nature to be part of nature. We will examine the ecological implications of these themes and the implications for consciousness as a whole.
The Experimental Thought Co will be taking over a space to host transformative talks around the theme of re-establishing HUMAN // NATURE, which exists as part of the ETC in-house programme of events. This gathering will happen under the umbrella of the annual VFor festival at the Truman Brewery, which focuses on sustainability and green/vegan lifestyles. We are proud to be supported by the London Experimental Psychonautics Club for this event.
