- **Event Name**: Tree of Life
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Aranyani, Goddess of forests and the wild, is dying. To recover – and for the plants and animals that she supports to thrive – she needs nourishment and balance in the world. It is down to a spiritual Sage and a Scientist – and you, the audience – to discover how to save her.  Tree of Life is a children’s dance theatre show, suitable for children aged 7+, which can be performed indoors or out.  The show explores the connection between science and spirituality through the medium of trees and dance. It includes South Asian Bharatanatyam and contemporary Western dance, as well as an ethereal, original music score and spoken word. There is also some ingenious audience participation using the latest in Microbit technology at the end of the show.  Drawing inspiration from Buddha attaining enlightenment under a Bodhi (fig) tree in India and Newton discovering gravity from an apple tree in the UK, Tree of Life weaves a tale of how these two events lead to a deepening of human understanding of our natural world, spiritually and scientifically.
