A event held at Bookhaus on Sunday 27th April. The event starts at 16:30.
This is a book launch unlike any we have done before at bookhaus. Andy will be taking people on a a nature writing for well being walk.
We will ask ticket holders to meet at bookhaus at 4:30, where Andy will show you some examples of great nature writing. Then we walk just around the corner to our friend's Little Victories. From there you will grab a cup of tea or coffee (which you will pre-order with us). Once everyone has their drink you will all walk to Gods Garden, two minutes walk away besides the New Cut.
In Gods Garden Andy will ask everyone to examine the nature surrounding you and focus on contemplating it for some time, before writing something inspired by your meditation. Then everyone will return to bookhaus by 6pm, everyone will sit together and Andy will invite some people to read out what they have written.
Then Andy will speak about his book with you, and then people will have the opportunity to buy copies and get them signed before we wrap up by 7pm.
This event will be limited to 20 people. Unfortunately Gods Garden is not very accessible, so unfortunately this event is not wheelchair friendly.
Andy Hamilton is a man who “walks the talk” on the wild-side and his writing is compelling, insightful, and hugely entertaining. Andy’s message could be paraphrased as ‘to be well, be wild’ and this book is a key to the door that leads us outside, to our truer wilder selves.’
Toby Buckland, Gardener, TV presenter and author
‘Andy Hamilton offers something rare these days — hope. Whilst acknowledging the mess we’ve made of the planet he points us in a new direction — back to our literal and metaphorical roots. He knows the only way we can heal our world — and heal our inner disquiet — is by inviting the natural world back into our lives. He reminds us of that we only flourish when we embrace nature — and a life disconnected from the wild is hollow and unsatisfactory. As a guide to what we have lost — and how we can embrace it once more — Andy is unsurpassed. He offers simple solutions to buoy us up, inspire us and propel us forward — turbo-charged by that wonder ingredient — nature. I can honestly say, having interviewed many 100s of writers, no one matches the sheer inspirational zeal of Andy Hamilton.’
Steve Yabsley, BBC Radio Bristol
‘This is an interesting read which reflects on modern life and the detachment from mother nature. Andy looks at the practical methods to address these issues and encourages time out with Mother nature to restore the balance.’
Christine Walkden, British television presenter and gardener
