Pursuit of Beauty in Unexpected Landscapes

Readings, discussion, poetry and images to reveal the hidden joy and inspire mindful adventure in natural, urban and emotional landscapes. Our guides are Jenny Landreth (the brilliantly funny Swell : A Waterbiography) with Joe Minihane (Floating: A Life Regained) on the struggle for equality and peace via big goggles and wild swimming; nature/travel writer Dan Richards (Climbing Days) follows the pioneering footsteps of his great-great-aunt, mountaineer Dorothy Pilley; Alice Stevenson illustrator, writer and walker explores different Ways of Seeing Great Britain; award-winning poet Kayo Chingonyi (Kumukanda) discovers rhythmic elegance in rites of passage; poet and forager Richard Osmond (Useful Verses) shares witty, inventive perspectives of flora and fauna; a short film on artist and wild swimmer Kari Furre by Dom Bush; and visuals of detritus transformed by @theurbanefox.
