This Sunday 9th July: Walk and Raft Race
Escape the city and join us for the Lewes Raft Race. Lead by Louis Rutherford our brilliant team have been busy building a permaculture raft which will race from Lewes to Newhaven. We have a group who will meet at Victoria at 10.30 am to get the train together, visit the raft for a talk on the permaculture structure, have a picnic and then walk along the river to Newhaven watching the race before travelling back to London.

30th August: Getting experiential – bring your boldest ice-breaker night
We know to create change we need to challenge mindsets and collaborate which means atmosphere, comradare and a sense of community are an absolute must.
Over the years our events have seen an array of ice-breakers and team building exercises which have set us up for creative thinking, connecting and solution finding.
Our catalystic facilitators have got us to create music, throw invisible objects, embrace pronoia, share our laughter, build ducks from lego and stare into eachothers eyes all in the name of change.
So we thought it would be fun to have a night of bring your boldest ice-breaker to end the summer
