SUMMARY:Toronto’s Water: exploring where it flows from and where it flows to
DESCRIPTION:In a big city like Toronto\, it’s easy to live unaware of the massive water flows that support our daily existence. Have you ever turned on the tap and considered how exactly the water got to you? Have you ever flushed the toilet and thought\, where it is all going? After a rainfall have you ever wondered where all the rain disappears to? This talk for the curious explores Toronto’s water\, sewage\, and stormwater infrastructure in a clear and engaging manner. Using maps\, we’ll investigate where TBG’s water\, sewage and stormwater comes from or goes to! We will learn about the Leslie elevated water tank\, the Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer\, Wilket Creek\, and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen and foster a stronger connection to place. As Mariko writes\, “Once we know where things come from and where things go\, we are no longer lost. We are connected and have a foundation upon which to develop a caring relationship with our environment.”\n\n\nWednesday\, October 4\, from 7-8:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.  \nTBG Member $ Free\, TBG Guest ticket $5\, Public $20 (plus applicable taxes and fees) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mariko Uda \n\n\n\nMariko Uda is an independent researcher and creative with a background in biology and chemistry (B.Sc.\, University of Waterloo)\, architecture (Certificate\, Toronto Metropolitan University)\, and civil engineering (B.A.Sc. and Ph.D.\, University of Toronto).

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Ravine Walk
DESCRIPTION:A unique forest bathing experience connecting with the water and Wilket Creek ravine.\n \nDo you have a special spot by the water that brings you joy?\n\n\nJoin us at the Toronto Botanical Garden to take part in a unique forest bathing experience to connect with the element of water and how it can make us happier\, calmer\, and healthier. As part of Ravine Days\, we invite you to explore Wilket Creek and the Don Valley Ravine with our Certified Forest Therapy Guide\, Emma Rooney. This slow guided walk is a chance to stretch your sensory awareness and build a deeper relationship with the waters of life. \nForest bathing—taking in the forest atmosphere—is a growing global practice that originated in Japan in the 1980s to address burnout caused by the technological boom. This Ravine Days event will provide an introduction to forest bathing and a supportive environment to try it. While we will spend most of our time near the water\, no bathing suits are required to immerse yourself in the experience. This session does not involve getting into the water\, and no prior experience with forest bathing is required. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring a small bowl to fill with a tiny bit of water to reflect upon during the session. We’ll end our time together with a moment of water gratitude and a sip of drinking water. Leave the session with simple tips for adding a sit spot practice by water to your time outdoors. \nSunday\, October 1\, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.  \nPublic $50\, Member $40 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Toronto Botanical Garden \n\n\n\nJoin the Toronto Botanical Garden (TBG) as a member to get a discount on this program\, upcoming events and classes\, and free parking.

SUMMARY:"IAM" Outdoor Installation + Experience by Radha Chaddah
DESCRIPTION:IAM is a performance installation with a stage made entirely of projected imagery cast onto trees and grass in Edwards Gardens. Audience members will be seated or can stand on grass at the edge of the stage\, as the dancers play amidst vividly coloured\, animated 3D imagery. The immersive visuals take the viewer into a vastly magnified microscopic realm\, as the projected imagery was produced and photographed in laboratories at the University of Toronto. This represents a symbolic re-framing of our relationship to the natural world\, reminding us that we are only a small part of the evolutionary narrative of life on earth. Following the live performance\, the audience is invited to experience the stage as a light sculpture installation. You’ll have a chance to explore the space and discover the change of perspective in the projected scenography while becoming enveloped in the intricate light patterns of molecules\, bodily tissues\, and energies. \nWednesday\, September 27\, 2023 \n7:30 to 9:30 p.m. – Artist Talk + Live Performance Join us as we sit down for a behind-the-scenes presentation by Toronto-based visual artist and scientist\, Radha Chaddah who will explain her work and the process of creating “IAM” followed by the live outdoor performance and immersive experience in Edwards Gardens.$5 Public; Free for TBG Members \nDoors open at 7 p.m. \n9:30 to 10:30 p.m. – FREE Live Performance The second performance of “IAM” is for those who wish to experience the performance only without the pre-show talk.
