About this Event
🌿 Our October Monthly Collective Gathering! 🧺
We’re excited to bring the collective together again for another relaxed evening of shared snacks, good conversation and creative connection.
Whether you’ve been part of the collective from the beginning or this is your first time meeting everyone, come along and get to know the community in a friendly, informal setting. There’s no expectation to have been involved before, just bring yourself and your curiosity!
What to expect
- A shared time: if weather is good, we can sit on the nearby grass, bring along a blanket and some of your favourite snacks to share.
- A little creative time: if you fancy making something while we chat, bring a sketchbook, paper and pencil, or another favourite paper-based craft.
- Conversation & connection: a chance to meet new people, share ideas and inspirations, and hear what others are excited about.
- Looking ahead: we’ll reflect on what we’ve created together so far and imagine where we’d like the collective to grow over the coming months and beyond.
October theme: looking at Mosses & Lichens, the macro world and our creative response
The evening will be co-hosted by collective members Jo, Lara and Lauren and will be an open, welcoming space for everyone to contribute or simply come along, listen and get to know people.
What to bring
- Your ideas, enthusiasm and aspirations for the collective
- A snack to share (bought, grown or foraged) 🥗🍓
- (if you feel inclined) Paper/sketchbook and a pencil or favourite creative medium 🎨

We can’t wait to welcome you! 🌞
