About the event
Rain or shine, Nellika Werner goes for long walks every day in the bush near her home. The cool silence of the forest helps soothe what is repeatedly torn apart by family life. One morning, she decides to take a path she's never walked before. Deep in this remote part of the forest, Nellika is struck by a falling manna gum branch, which pins her to the ground. Shockingly injured and unable to move, with no water or phone, her only hope is that someone will find her.
Both a meditation on nature and healing, and a map of how one generation's struggle imprints on the next, How to Love the World is brilliant, immersive and ultimately hopeful.
Free, but bookings are essential.
