Heligan Homecoming Festival: Merlin Sheldrake, Wyl Menmuir, Dr James Canton and friends

Mycelium & Myth: A Gathering Beneath the Surface

Step into a day woven with wonder, where roots speak and stories bloom. Join us for a deep and dreamlike journey through the tangled threads of nature, myth, and imagination.

From the whispering woodlands to the hidden networks beneath our feet, this gathering invites you to listen differently — to fungi and folklore and to ancient trees.

A celebration of entangled thinking, sacred landscapes, and the quiet magic of simply noticing the hidden worlds surrounding us.

Our eclectic gathering of speakers for the day will include:

· Merlin Sheldrake, British mycologist & bestselling
author of “Entangled Life”

· Cornish Nature writer Wyl Menmuir and Dr James Canton
joining us from Essex where James runs the only
Uni Wild Writing MA

· ‘The Lost Folk’ book launch by local author Lally MacBeth

· Ecologist and Wildlife extraordinaire Dan Ryan

Yoga from 8am, gates open at 9am. Please visit our website for further information.
