LEARNING TO SEE IN THE DARK: a vigil

Siegmar Zacharias and Lucy Powell invite you to stay awake and bear witness together through this late summer night. Preparing food and shelter, taking a night walk in the woods and with plenty of time for stillness and quiet reflection around the fire, we will explore ways of expanding our capacity for dwelling in uncertainty, staying with the trouble and sitting with discomfort – using somatic meditation practices, plant wisdom, the superpowers of compassion, curiosity and solidarity – in communion with the other creatures of the night.

We will work with prompts for sensing and reflection throughout the night. We invite you to think about who or what you want to dedicate this vigil to. Collectively we can stay present to it

As this event will also be an experience founded on trust, we kindly ask participants to email us with a few lines about themselves and why they would like to take part.

Places are limited and can be reserved HERE, free of charge.
