Breathing with the Forest is an immersive video installation that illuminates the ecosystem surrounding a capinuri tree (Maquira coriacea) in the Colombian Amazon. The installation recreates a real plot of Amazonian forest in its full majesty and astounding detail, revealing the beauty and fragility of these tropical environments, bringing to light the many delicate interactions and relationships that exist between the major kingdoms of life.

Standing within the installation surrounded by the pulsing rhythms of the rainforest you will find that your breath begins to synchronise with the life of the forest as you become connected and part of the forest ecosystem.

Enhance the experience of Breathing with the Forest with an accompanying meditative guide, which can be collected from the Welcome Centre. This will highlight some of our surrounding spaces within the grounds and guide you through meditation exercises, allowing you to embrace your connection with nature both before and after the experience.

To allow you to embrace the meditative experience for this installation, the space is free to enter and leave as you wish and does not require prebooking a timeslot.

During busier times we may run time slots, these will be handed out at the Welcome Centre on the day and given out when you arrive. This will allow you to plan your day and ensure you are able to make the most of the experience.
