Description
What can a bear of very little brain teach us about living well? Drawing on Benjamin Hoff’s beloved classic The Tao of Pooh, as well as the Tao Te Ching, author, poet and spiritual teacher John Siddique explores the timeless wisdom hidden within the Hundred Acre Wood.
Through the characters of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Owl, this engaging and thought-provoking event reflects on simplicity, presence, acceptance and the art of moving with, rather than against, the flow of life.
Blending storytelling, philosophy and gentle humour, Siddique invites audiences to reconsider what it means to find contentment, navigate uncertainty and live with greater ease in a restless world.
