IWY 10: CLEANSING FIRES

29 October 2012
@ Mayola Manor, London

We held our last ever I’m with You at Mayola Manor in Lower Clapton, London, the house where I’m with You began in October 2009.

We invited a small group to say goodbye to Mayola with a series of rituals.

With :GraceLES (R Justin Hunt) Opera In Doors, Johanna Linsley Seance, and Benjamin Sebastian My Heart Is Your Home.

We began with GraceLES saying hello and goodbyee with Opera In Doors, then Johanna led a seance in the garden, under the full moon.

The clouds seemed to part during the seance.

Benjamin led a ritual, My Heart Is Your Home, in the kitchen.

Finally we walked into the woods, to burn things; all of us in Millfields partk, one last time.

Opera In Doors

GraceLES (R. Justin Hunt) engaged the gathering in a ritual - an opera for arrival and departure, insprired by Juliana Snapper. All those present stood in the doorways of the manor and were led into song. The resultant work was Opera In Doors.
