Book NowAbout the show
Presence Creative Arts presents a contemplative, cinematic gallery encounter set in the rugged beauty of northern Scotland. Visitors slow down, breathe and wander through eight sensory stations — a modern-day pilgrimage inspired by one of the ancient world's greatest kings, David. Told through film, poetry and spiritual practice, the exhibition invites exploration of very human challenges including family dynamics, loss and a search for the sound of the Eternal. Each interactive station is an opportunity to feed the soul.
Why see this show?
A self-paced, immersive gallery experience that asks you to slow down — eight sensory stations combining film, poetry and spiritual practice. Thoughtful, free, and very much its own kind of Fringe event.
