Welcome to a day focusing on community, belonging and the importance of being seen and accepted – at work, in relationships and in everyday life.
OmLivet Day brings people together for a festival featuring inspiring talks, conversations, interviews and cultural performances. The programme also includes stands, book signings and opportunities to view and purchase art.
The Artillery Workshop in Horten provides the setting for the event, with an informal festival atmosphere and spaces where visitors can sit down, meet others and share conversations. There will also be opportunities to take part in simple yoga and mindfulness sessions during the breaks.
Food and drinks can be purchased from Kaffebaren Trakteren, offering both lunch and dinner. Visitors are also welcome to bring their own packed lunch.
OmLivet Day offers a day for reflection, conversation and community at the Artillery Workshop in Horten.
This standalone workshop is part of a series exploring Greek goddesses. This session focuses on Demeter, goddess of harvest and growth, and her daughter Persephone.
The myths of Demeter and Persephone provide inspiration for writing exercises and reflection on creativity, the cycles of nature, the relationship between mother and daughter, and gratitude.
The workshop takes place at Kjersti’s smallholding, approximately one hour from Oslo and 40 minutes from Tønsberg. The day combines writing and reflection with time spent in a rural setting.
Price: NOK 1,500, including lunch and homemade baked goods
