Moving On No Man’s Land

Please note this event has not been organised or run by the Friends of Garthorne Road Nature Reserve, but by Exit Map

Please book using the link below

  • Event lasts 3 hours 30 minutes

An immersive ambience of sounds and words, found in one of London’s hidden gem’s, Garthorne Nature Reserve. A magical and transformative experience awaits you to connect to nature for a renewed sense of navigating life through our senses.

All ages are welcome – children go free!

Moving On events fine tune attention to sensory input in nature. Feel and connect your own body through audio imagery to ease movement and dances inspired by what you see and sense.

Let nature move you and connect to the land and all that grows from it.

The installation is part radio installation and part transmitted through headphones. Please bring your phone and headphones and note that the booking includes a link for an audio to download.

It is an intergenerational project that invites all cultures, genders and abilities to join in. Should you have concerns about navigating natural terrain, please get in touch, we are happy to assist.

We want people to encounter nature and each other on common natural ground to foster a togetherness based on equality and openness that reconnects to nature as something that grows away and back into us, to remember our own nature and how to resource from it and look after it.

Before and after

Doors will open at 11am and we invite you to come then for an intial stroll before we begin at 11.30am.
