EARTHSHRINE: Sensing Sacred Soils

EARTHSHRINE: Sensing Sacred Soils

Jasper Griepink

The lush touch of earth; the taste, the smell of dirt before it was dirty. Sensing beyond the prophecies of doom (rising seas, exhaustion, extinction), art-bard and modern-day druid Jasper Griepink evokes a faerie-futuristic world of fertile soil that nurtures and sustains us. 

In a time somewhen, a spacecraft will once have landed, or is it perhaps preparing to take off elsewhere? Inside the murky and dark underground spaces of MU, this space-vessel forms a mythic nucleus for eco-logical research; the creation of new stories, songs, exchange and contemplation. How can we re-enchant the earth, re-spirit the soil, invite the sacred back into the land? 

Enter the EARTHSHRINE at MU from 13 May till 26 June, participate in rituals and performances during three special events, or just be present at this proposed rekindling of natural reverence.

Saturday 18 June | Workshop 'How to become a Soil Priestess' (in Dutch)
