15:00-17:00

ancestral are delighted to welcome Roberto Salvador Cenciarelli and Nasim Luczaj to read from their oblique house diptych and talk about their work. The session will also include time to write, a short meditation and a dream-awareness session based on the philosophy and practice of IONE (see Quantum Dreaming , Spiral House 2025) where dream awareness encourages the creation of a community of dreamers. Spiced drinks and snacks will be shared.

Ancestral is a collective run by by Sitron Panppoulos and Rushika Wick. It aims to celebrate and engage with specific late modernist or contemporary poets, their gifts and strange fruit. Each session will be a little different, but expect some introduction slides, readings and communal writing practice. There will be guest poets and the opportunity to share your own work. Ritual and solidarity will feature.
