The Sondering

The Sondering is a new micro-festival (approx. 300 capacity) in the Lake District that explores death, dying, and grief in new (and old) ways. Using a blend of contemporary arts, music, nature, ritual, community and death literacy expertise, we’re asking the question - can exploring mortality creatively, consciously and communally bring us closer to life and each other? Think part festival, part retreat, and part shared experiment. It’s a co-creation where the ‘audience’ are participants, playing a vital role in holding the space for each other and having lots of opportunity to get involved rather than just ‘watch’.
