THE INNERVIEW: An evening of ocean exploration

What happens when we enter the ocean? Not observe it, not cross it - but truly enter it? 

We believe something shifts. A profound cognitive change, akin to the Overview Effect experienced by astronauts seeing Earth from space - but in the opposite direction, into the blue. We call it the Innerview. 

On 3rd June at the Royal Geographical Society in London, join us for an extraordinary evening of ocean exploration, storytelling and discovery - as we collectively imagine the Innerview with some of the most remarkable ocean voices on the planet. 

--

Doors open at 5:30pm, when guests can enjoy drinks in the RGS garden and Map Room. Following the talks and panel discussion, the garden and Map Room will reopen. All attendees will receive a free copy of the corresponding Special Edition of Oceanographic: Issue 48 / THE INNERVIEW.
