On the 'geological' surface, the question seems absurd. After all, rocks are lifeless, inert, and silent. In this talk, earth scientist Anjana Khatwa will ask us to open our ears, think again and listen to their stories.Anjana will alternate between contemporary scientific consideration and ancient wisdom, taking us on an exhilarating journey through deep time. From the origins of the green pounamu that courses down New Zealand rivers, and the wonder of the bluestone megaliths of Stonehenge, to the fiery volcanoes of Hawai'i and Manhattan's bedrock of schist.Through unearthing those stories and more, Khatwa will show how rocks have always spoken to us, and we humans to them. Delicately intertwining Indigenous stories of Earth’s creation with our scientific understanding of its development, she will showcase how our lives are intimately connected to time’s ancient storytellers.Copies of Anjana's book "The Whispers of Rock" will be available for purchase after the talk.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri's Event image by Min An via Pexels - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/the-whispers-of-rock-stories-from-the-earth/100001980539787820 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.9, max: 21.44, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Royal Institution - **lat**: 51.5097196 - **long**: -0.14252569999996467 - **full address**: The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The whispers of rock: Stories from the Earth - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/dcb5e95dbf19bd1522e9a09e1fbc6330344eaa6b627134d1772678d93e2ce2ef-rimg-w1200-h760-dc147e8a-gmir.jpg?v=1769258720 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The whispers of rock: Stories from the Earth being held? - **A:** The whispers of rock: Stories from the Earth takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The whispers of rock: Stories from the Earth? - **A:** Ticket prices for The whispers of rock: Stories from the Earth range from GBP 8 to GBP 21 depending on the ticket type.
