Organised by Where the Leaves Fall
Beyond the light pollution and smog exists the cosmos.
Author Jo Marchant will be in conversation with Where the Leaves Fall editors Luciane and David, to talk about her book The Human Cosmos, and discuss the importance of our connection with the night sky, the stars, and the planets - and how they help define us and give us a feeling of awe. The Smithsonian says the book “leaves readers ready for reflection, re-evaluation and rediscovery.”
For most of human history, we have led not just an earthly existence but a cosmic one. Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives. Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we are – our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. And that disconnect comes at a cost.
It is time for us to rediscover the full potential of the universe we inhabit, its wonder, its effect on our health, and its potential for inspiration and revelation.
