The fourth gathering in a five-part series transforming a forgotten piece of land through collective making, reflection, and care.

INTRA-OUTER is an invitation for QTIPOC and their queer allies to come together, slow down and engage with a changing piece of land through reflection and collective action.

Across five gatherings, we will transform a disused pocket of the We Build Brighton CIC plot into a little sanctuary for creativity, presence and pause. Through clearing, mapping, making and embodied practice, we will explore the relationship between our inner landscapes and the environments we create around us.

Each session will begin with an opportunity to tune into the theme of the phase, before moving into collective work on the land. Together, we will create a place for reflection, connection and care - one that becomes as we do.

PHASE 04

CONNECTION:

AUGUST 30TH | 11:00 - 16:00

Having strengthened the spaces that emerged through mapping, we turn towards connecting them. What parts of ourselves have been separate, and how might they be brought into relationship? How might we unify the fragments of our evolving space?

Building on what we created in the previous phase, we’ll identify areas of the site that could be brought together, while reflecting on parts of ourselves that might also benefit from connection. We’ll create simple sigils and plant them alongside the new hazel, before welcoming Subira, who will lead a beginner-friendly crochet workshop.

A simple lunch will be provided with harvest from the plot.

All gatherings are FREE.

What to bring: Just a water bottle, suitable clothes for the weather, and your wonderful self!

Accessibility note: Due to the current condition and location of the plot, this series is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. We are committed to improving access to the site and hope to make future adaptations as the space develops. Please get in touch if you have access needs or questions about the site.

Getting here: Please arrive at 10:45 (all meet at the grassed area on the corner of Natal and Nesbitt road - just before the gate) where we will all enter the site together.
