Autumn Equinox Ritual by Of The Wild

Celebrate the Autumn Equinox- one of the pivotal moments in the seasonal cycle of our Earth, it is a reminder that change is always happening. It is a time marking a new season of transformation and reflection, inviting us to embrace change, release what no longer serves us, making space to cultivate gratitude for the abundance in our lives.

This event is supported and commissioned by Joseph Rowntree Foundation as part of the 100 days of Hope project. Making it possible for Of The Wild to offer this event for free to the community.

Gather for an immersive and participatory performance to embrace the changing seasons. There will be guided meditation, embodied movement, singing and drumming. You are welcome to participate as much or as little as you want in the ritual. Emerging from the ritual we have some beautiful circus and dance performances, featuring the breathtaking performances from some of Bristol's best circus artists. As well as incredible vocal performances from various artists spoken word poetry and live music.

About Of The Wild

Of The Wild - An Ecological Circus Collective. An innovative collective of acrobats, aerialists, dancers, singers, and musicians, dedicated to exploring the intersection of ritual, performance, and ecology.

Through a unique blend of earth based ritual and performance they tell new stories of wholeness & interconnection. Encouraging a sense of care & custodianship through acts of celebration and gratitude for life upon this planet.

By returning performance to its roots, Of The Wild hope to weave together the metaphorical language of visual art with ecological activism to deepen our connection to the earth and a sense of kinship with all beings.
