There are things we understand, things we think we understand, and things that seem to resist understanding altogether. **The Unknowable** is an evening about our attraction to mystery: cosmic horror, the sublime, dreams, symbols, strange landscapes, and the parts of ourselves that remain just beyond conscious reach. We’ll begin with the feeling at the heart of cosmic horror: the unsettling possibility that reality is far older, stranger and less comprehensible than the stories we tell ourselves about it. But rather than staying only with horror, we’ll follow that feeling towards **awe, imagination, mysticism and transcendence**. Why can something vast and frightening also feel beautiful, sacred or strangely familiar? What happens to the ego when confronted with something much larger than itself? And what if the unknown is not only somewhere beyond us, but also somewhere *within?* **£3 PAID EVENT • All materials provided • Payment link below** The evening draws inspiration from *H. P.

Think strange maps, ruined worlds, impossible skies, ancient symbols, dream-fragments, forgotten places and the old suspicion that reality goes far beyond our ability to describe it. You don’t need to know any of these beforehand. They are influences rather than homework. **AIM OF THE EVENING:** The aim is to use **cosmic horror and the idea of the unknown as a doorway into deeper questions about identity, awe, mortality, imagination and transcendence**. Rather than treating the unknowable only as something frightening, we’ll explore how encounters with mystery can **loosen our everyday sense of self and open up new ways of thinking, feeling and creating**. **THE EVENING:** We’ll begin with a short **guided meditation**, using imagination and stillness to settle into the atmosphere of the evening and approach the unknown without immediatel
