On Friday, renowned American mycologist Paul Stamets is making a rare UK appearance at the Equinox for a much-anticipated talk, there will also be an array of guest speakers and panellists from the Museum of Consciousness. The time of the Equinox itself will be marked with a ceremony at 1.45 pm on Sunday, led by multi-instrumentalist and ceremony leader, Omer Gonen-Haela.
“Equinox is an exciting collaboration with the folk at Wasing. It will be a deep dive into nature connection and the importance of protecting this precious planet. There’ll be an eclectic array of artists, talks and workshops on climate and nature connection, as well as the chance to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Wasing estate," says Brian Eno.
“EarthPercent are delighted to be partnering with Wasing on this exciting new event. It’s a great opportunity to raise funds and awareness about our work, at the same time as fully immersing in the stunning nature around Wasing, to encourage a more meaningful relationship with the beautiful planet," adds Joel Gardner, Co-Executive Director of EarthPercent.
