Wild Medicine – at Bristol Folk House| 29th January Doors: 19:00 | Show: 19:30

Tickets: £10.00 early bird please follow the link above to purchase.

Join us for a revelatory and exuberant discussion between Jay Griffiths and Michael Malay about our relationship to the living world: mischievous, vital and wild.

Jay has written several award-winning books, including Wild: An Elemental Journey and Pip Pip: A Sideways Look at Time. In her latest work, How Animals Heal Us, she explores how animals offer irresistible medicine. They can heal us as individuals with their vitality, humour and empathy. They offer social remedies too: wolves may be teachers of ethics; bees take collective decisions and monkeys have a sense of justice.

In conversation with celebrated local author Michael Malay, Jay will reflect on the big questions that have always permeated her writing, considering time and the rich wisdoms of Indigenous cultures, and the necessity of challenging the status quo.

Doors will open at 7pm. The Folk House bar will be open, and so will the book stall kindly provided by Heron Books. We’ll start at 7.30pm and finish at 8.30pm.

We would like this event to be accessible to everyone. If you would like to come but cannot afford a ticket, please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@bristoltalks.co.uk.
