About The Event
Join us for a special event supported by Wildlife Groundswell, Amy (who works with natural pigments) and 99p Films.
Voices of Water Foundation have invited some special guests to put on a collaborative event on the banks of the Helford River.
Weaving ecology, philosophy, folklore and ceremony, come and be guided on a journey of what it means to relate to the more-than-human. Get know the salmon and eel better through a completely new folklore made by Bella and Hannah, and hear from Em (founder of Voices of Water) who will encourage us to change the way we speak about nature, in order to protect and regenerate it.
