🌿 Natural Emergence: Gardening an Awakening
Author Talk with Alison Ensor
What if your garden was not something to control, but something to listen to?
Alison explores how our reactions to “pests” and “weeds” can reflect parts of ourselves we have not yet welcomed. By looking at species such as slugs, snails, bindweed and brambles through an ecological lens, she invites us to recognise the intelligence within the whole system, and within ourselves.
This event is perfect for anyone interested in nature, embodiment, spiritual awareness and the living intelligence of plants, trees and wildlife. Rather than learning something new, you may discover that you already know how to listen.
📚 All attendees will receive a signed copy of Alison’s book Natural Emergence: Gardening an Awakening.
✨ Listen deeply. Reconnect with nature. Remember what you already know.
