Fire Feast Lunch - Candlelight and dark skies

Hosted by Rathmore
The Off Season
heritage listed wool shed lunch venue
Indulge in your yearning to connect with nature and the cosmos and understand the benefits of a Tasmanian Dark Sky Sanctuary over a fire feast lunch at heritage listed Rathmore Wool Shed. President of Dark Sky Tasmania Lachlan Bannister will speak on the psychology of candlelight and the goal of preserving and protecting Tasmania’s wondrous night sky. The humble candle, once an important provider of illumination to our evenings, has today become a symbol for romance and, at times, a reminder of our heavy reliance on electricity. However, the history of the candle holds some key learnings about our relationship to light as humans. It can also teach us a lot about our relationship to our nocturnal environment. This talk is designed to get you thinking about your relationship to light, the impacts this can have on the environment and our health, and how the power of a candle might help us achieve a brighter future.
