Life rarely adheres to a script — and this event refuses to try. It's an open invitation to break from order, embrace spontaneity, and lean into the unexpected. Some things will crash spectacularly; that's exactly the point. What emerges when control yields to improvisation?
SUNDAY, 17 August 2025, 1-4PM
MEETING POINT: THE MEADOW AT LONDON FIELDS, HACKNEY—CORNER OF RICHMOND ROAD AND ELEANOR ROAD, 51.543405, -0.059491
The event unfolds in three movements:
The journey begins on London Fields' open meadow with Atul. For years, he has returned to this same spot. What he does looks simple, yet it's something profound—through focused awareness, he reveals the body's hidden capacities of balance. We join him in this grounding ritual—a quiet entry into embodied presence.
Next, we step inside Kat's three-story Georgian house, a sanctuary where she... breeds chickens. She shares her modern druidic worldview: rejecting currency-driven culture in favor of spiritual ecology and community care. Here we're invited into domestic intimacy, tasting Kat's intention-infused herbal teas and homemade delights.
Finally, we gather for a party in one of East London's largest communal gardens. Among rows of fruits and vegetables tended by the hands of many, surrounded by neo-modernist housing, expect live music, organic food, vibrant exchange, and... a flower auction.
This is full collective immersion: the individual dissolving into shared experience, rooted in place and participation.
Limited to a group of 8 people to preserve the intimacy of the experience.
