Jay Griffiths: Wild Medicine with Bristol Talks

We are very pleased to support this event organised by Bristol Talks with Jay Griffiths and Michael Malay: a revelatory and exuberant discussion 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 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 of Late Light, 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 open at 7pm. The Folk House bar will be open and we will provide a book stall. The talk is from 7.30-8.30pm. Tickets are available from the Bristol Talks website.
