It provides participants with a fun experience of possible new relations. Originally created as part of The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025, a collaborative fiction project about interspecies democracy, this meditation has since traveled the world, evolving with each new place it visits.Now arriving on the lively coast of Felixstowe, this event offers a moment of reflection, connection, and playful transformation. <h3>🌊🐚 What to Expect:</h3><ul><li>A group journey from Hamilton MAS to Felixstowe Beach</li><li>A guided meditation to enter the consciousness of a chosen species</li><li>A sharing circle where we reflect on our embodied experiences</li><li>Thoughtful dialogue on place, ecology, and kinship across species</li></ul>Whether you're an artist, activist, beach-walker, or just curious, this event offers a powerful, imaginative way to reconnect with your surroundings—and with the lives that share it.Presented by Hamilton MAS, this event is part of a larger interactive exhibition, From the City to the Coast tracing Furtherfield’s journey from London’s Finsbury Park to Felixstowe’s coast—celebrating art, community, and ecological futures.***This exhibition is part of Reimagine This Coastal Town, a Furtherfield project realised in partnership with The University of Sussex, Level Two Youth Projects, Hamilton MAS, and the Felixstowe Citizen Science Group and with support from Arts Council England and the Suffolk Cultural Fund.<a href="https://www.furtherfield.org/furtherfield-exhibition-from-the-city-to-the-coast/" title="https://www.furtherfield.org/furtherfield-exhibition-from-the-city-to-the-coast/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">🔗Learn more about the exhibition</a>Contact info@furtherfield.orgImage credit: <ol><li>The Interspecies Meditation, film still from the Interspecies Festival of Finsbury Park, by Tracy Kiryango, 2023</li><li>Furtherfield: From the City to the Coast by Sajan Rai, 2024</li></ol>
