Summer 2025
Commissioned to bring our Ritual to Into the Wild Festival 2025
Join Of The Wild for ‘Earth Ritual’ — a powerful offering of contemporary dance and aerial performance rooted in ancestral traditions.
With live music from Olivia Fern and ceremonial space held by Seren Rose this immersive ritual blends movement, voice, poetry, and ceremony. It is both a remembrance and a reimagining to tend to our ecological and ancestral belonging.
Of The Wild is a ritual theatre arts collective weaving the metaphorical language of art with ecological, cultural, and ancestral remembering. Our work is rooted in Celtic ritual traditions and aligned with the turning of the seasonal wheel, inviting us to listen deeply to the land and honour its cycles.
Spring Equinox 2025
Honor the Earth’s awakening with ritual, renewal, and wild beauty. This spring, we’ll gather to honour the awakening of the earth through ritual, music, and movement. Olivia Fern will be playing live, creating a soundscape to guide us through the unfolding energy of the season..
Winter Ritual
As winter wraps us in its quiet embrace,
We gather close, find our sacred space.
With dreams like seeds, we softly sow,
Intentions sprout beneath the snow.
The frost may linger, the nights may stay,
But the growing light is on its way.
Now is the time to nurture and tend,
For growth begins where stillness ends.
Autumn Equinox 2024
Leaves drift down, the fire glows,
day and night in fleeting pose.
We honor change, we let things fall—
gathering the gifts of harvest’s call

Winter Solstice 2024
On this longest night may the sacred darkness embrace me in quite suspension. Paused upon this threshold between what has been and what is yet to come. this beautiful liminal space where it is timeless and transformation whispers beneath the surface of the in-between. A space that is not to be rushed through but fully felt, explored and honour the stillness. Where dreams take root in the fertile dark embracing the energies that bridge what was with what will be.
“We (Aliya, Sophia, William) found it a moving and inspiring event; really worthwhile and different.
We've been looking for ways to share our ecological concerns through shared artistic experiences. It's very important and this was a great initiative, really well executed by exceptionally capable performers.”
— William Heath
