If you were offered a portal, a way to step into the other-worlds, to reconnect with all that we have been and could be, would you take it?

Since we set our last sustainability goals in 2022, we have remained deeply committed to reducing our environmental impact. We discovered that achieving net positive is more complex than anticipated. That’s why earlier this year we took the time to reassess our approach, read here:

The steps of Reed Hall when the lights are out @thepaganchaplain.bsky.social ? Where would you go to see shooting stars near #Exeter @visitdevon.bsky.social @field-system.bsky.social @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social ? 🌠

The Pagan Chaplain @thepaganchaplain.bsky.social · Aug 9

Shooting stars are somehow really magical #druidsky #pagansky ✨/I\ #sturgeonmoon #grainmoon Where is the best place to observe the sky on campus @uniofexeterhass.bsky.social @bdcmuseum.bsky.social ? #Exeter

RSPB @rspb.bsky.social · Aug 9

August’s full moon rises 🌕🌠

Named the 'Sturgeon Moon’ by Native Americans for plentiful fishing, & the 'Grain Moon' in Old English to mark the harvest.

Tonight, it shares the sky with the Perseid meteor shower (peaking 12 Aug), so keep an eye out for shooting stars!

Moonrise: 21:16*
