The journey started with a Rekindling Ritual, where a piece of kindling took a totemic transmutative quality as visitors were invited to jot down or draw their greatest concern about our shared time on Earth. Through the act of recording this on a wooden body of another Earth being that concern transmuted into the source of power, a point of purpose, an activation of passion. On the flipside of the same kindling the participants were then invited to draw what is it that they most deeply and profoundly love about living on this Earth. They were then encouraged  to  sense into both sides of the same kindling,  with the concerns and passions alchemising into guidance of how one can play their unique part in contributing to the change.

Next journey stop was a guided embodiment meditation inviting the visitors to connect to the ecological kin all around them. Starting from the millions of bacteria in one’s gut microbiome and ending the journey with the ancient skeletons that make up the concrete of the building, these kincentric evocations were facilitated by one of the Earthkin’s guides as well as through a meditation soft sculpture with written self-guided invitations.

Participants were then invited to reflect in honesty on their current contribution to the well-being of the Earth, leaving space for conversation, collaboration, reflection and inspiration. From this onwards participants had to choose whether they would prefer to go down the path of stimulation (air and fire) or slowing down (water and earth). Here, the final guided reflections were to be made, which took the participants to their allocated element.
