Howl at the Moon Night

Howl at the Moon Night, celebrated on the 26th of October, encourages people to step outside and connect with their primal instincts. It serves as a lighthearted excuse to release stress and embrace the wilder side of human nature.

Speaking Discussion

  • Why do we feel a primal fear in a dark forest at night?
  • Should we have scream rooms in every office where people can just let out their animal rage?
  • Is civilisation a success or a golden cage that has destroyed our spirit?
  • If you could be an animal for one night, which one would you choose?
  • Why is wildness attractive in movies but terrifying in real neighbours?
