What can we learn from fungi? How might we work with them to adapt to the radical change of our times? What secrets lie beneath our feet? 

Join renowned biologist and bestselling author Merlin Sheldrake for a mind-expanding journey into the extraordinary world of fungi.

Selecting jaw-dropping time-lapse sequences from Fungi: The Web of Life, the award-winning breathtaking IMAX documentary narrated by iconic composer and singer Björk, Merlin will guide us beyond the screen—exploring the science, drawing on his research and his award-winning book Entangled Life, he will share insights into how fungi shape our understanding of life on Earth.

Blending live discussion and audience-led exploration, this unique event features never-before-seen footage and groundbreaking new research, revealing the latest discoveries in the world of fungi…how they sustain life on Earth, change our minds, heal our bodies and help us avoid environmental disaster. 

Expect a dynamic, immersive experience where science meets storytelling, ask Merlin your own probing questions and prepare to see life on Earth in a completely new way. Step into the mycelial web and discover the unseen!

Thinking about fungi makes the world look different. These remarkable organisms have shaped life on Earth for over a billion years and continue to do so. There are so many ways that fungi can help us as we move forwards on this changing planet." Merlin Sheldrake
