We would like to express our gratitude for our collaboration with Cofsa (Conscious Food Systems Alliance) and respectfully quote the following content. The event hosted by Cofsa is a valuable opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with nature. Additionally, we will be featuring a taiko drum performance and workshop as part of this event.Tickets can be purchased from the following link:<\/strong>https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/landbasedspirituality\/1791638<\/a><\/p>\n

Join us for the return of the\u00a0Listening to the Land day,\u00a0<\/strong>a collaborative gathering to explore how building a reciprocal relationship with nature can support radical food system transformation. The Listening to the Land day will be held in Oxford on\u00a0January 7th 2026,<\/strong>\u00a0one day before the Oxford Real Farming Conference 2026, which convenes the largest gathering of the agroecological movement in the UK.<\/p>\n

Building on last year\u2019s success, the Listening to the Land day has expanded and will offer a choice of interactive sessions across four venues. We are delighted to welcome speakers from many different backgrounds – from Indigenous elders and land protectors to farmers, policy-makers and conservationists – to explore how a deeper connection with land can shape personal and collective change.\u00a0Confirmed speakers include: Indigenous organiser and musician,\u00a0Lyla June<\/strong>, botanist and author,\u00a0Monica Gagliano\u00a0<\/strong>(Thus Spoke the Plant), Maori land rights activist,\u00a0Pania Newton<\/strong>, Afroecology founder\u00a0Dee Woo<\/strong>ds,\u00a0Satish Kumar,\u00a0Rupert Sheldrake, Jill Purce, Patrick McManaway\u00a0<\/strong>and many others.<\/p>\n

The Listening to the Land Day will offer anyone who has a deep, heartfelt connection to the natural world the opportunity to share knowledge, insights and ways of knowing, and reconnect with a sense of belonging and community with the human and more-than-human world. It will be a welcome space for people who work and care about the land to seek clarity, allies and confidence in their own intuition and a philosophy of interconnectedness.<\/p>\n

The spaces for this day are limited, and early booking is essential to avoid disappointment. This year, we are offering supporter tickets for anyone who would like to support our commitment to creating a space that is accessible to all. Supporter tickets directly support low-waged or marginalised identities from the movement to be part of this gathering. We also offer other ticket tiers to suit all circumstances. If the ticket price is barrier to attending, please reach out to us to enquire about bursary tickets.<\/p>\n

The event will run from 9am – 6pm and will include teas, coffees and refreshments. A delicious seasonal vegetarian lunch will be available to book in advance (spaces limited).\u00a0<\/u>
