MAGNETIC FIELDS NOMADS
Step out of linear time and into ritual, conversation and scent
Hosted by perfumer and poet Jahnvi Lakhota Nandan, Heart Notes is a highly intimate, time-bending gathering that invites you to step out of linear time and into ritual, conversation and scent.
In ritual, scent does what words cannot: it marks transition, summons presence, and roots us in the immaterial. Across nomadic cultures, scents were offered as gifts to conclude a journey, a moment of hospitality, exchange and grounding. This experience draws on that shared lineage, where ritual becomes an anchor and fragrance becomes a vehicle for remembrance and imagination.
Gathered around a table, individual festival guests are invited into a gently unfolding encounter shaped by poetry and intuition rather than agenda. Each of the ten sessions are entirely unique. One may drift toward the creation of a bespoke scent; another toward poetry, storytelling, or quiet reflection on how memory lives in the body. What unfolds depends on who is present, and what the moment asks for.
This is a shared temporal pocket: part salon, part ceremony, part dream. A soft portal between past, present and possibility.
Saturday: 2 pm onwards
