We had a wonderful day at our Welcome to the Swamp workshop at the Gathering Glade. It was our first excursion to the wellbeing gardens, a site run by Brighton & Hove Food Partnership<\/a> up at Stamner Park in Brighton. It was a wonderful space to hold the event in what felt like the first sunshine of the season. We were here to explore eco-anxiety and try and find ourselves as ‘swamps amongst swamps’ as we connected back with nature and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sat outside in a circle on log stools, discussed the plight of swamps and associated wetlands, went foraging in the surrounding area for mark-making tools and came back to the circle to make our own natural paints. The outcomes were some beautiful, vivid colours, a collection of shared creations which covered small and large expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who joined us and shared in this special event! We will be running another session on April 7 so please check out the Magnetic Ideals<\/a> Eventbrite if you are interested in participating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
