Our Creative Residency
Online Edition
Lessons in Listening
𖥧
An online residency that guides participants through a programme of creative experiences that attune & develop abilities to listen to the seen and the unseen voices of those we co-exist amongst, with creative practices inspired by the Land, Sea & Sky
The world communicates creatively and we, as humans, are embedded with all of the tools to join in this universal conversation collaboratively. Just as the trees are learning from each other and conversing deep through their roots and the moon from her starlit throne is conducting the tides, language between us all takes many shapes and forms and this residency intends to reveal the myriads of opportunities we have to explore this communication together. A communication that ushers in flourishing futures built on collaborative networks of communication and listening with all beings of the Land, Sea & Sky.
This residency will evolve your connection to your most creative self, inspire your practice, connect you deeply to the great and small, to the seen and unseen worlds we are in participation with and nurture and restore your perspective for possibility, personally and collectively.

Pause in Practice: Kissing the Void
with Toni Spencer
Live Online Session 14th April 6pm GMT
A session with Toni Spencer Pause in Practice: Kissing the Void offers a powerful invitation to meet the unknown as a source of creative renewal. Toni creates a space where participants can pause and listen beyond the noise of urgency and overwhelm. With experience in Deep Adaptation and grief work, she gently supports you to explore the fertile ground of not knowing - where grief, loss and uncertainty can become doorways to presence and possibility. This is an opportunity to deepen your practice through embodied awareness and courageous stillness. Opening a space to surrender to what is emerging and to let creativity arise from the quiet depths within.
Reading the Living Landscape through Tracking
with Kara Moses
Live Online Session 14th May 6pm BST
Learning about the complex lives of other species through a tracking practice builds an appreciation of non-human intelligence. Tracks and signs open doorways of empathy and understanding with other beings that live in non-human form – intimate glimpses into the daily lives of others, what they are doing, how they are feeling. If we are open and receptive, we can’t help but be touched as we see our own lives and feelings mirrored back to us, to feel the entanglement of our own lives with theirs. It is a relational practice. This workshop opens up the fascinating world of tracking as a practice of deep inquiry, connection and reanimation of the living land with the stories human supremacy erases.
Communicating Beyond the Human
with Samantha Rose
Live Online Session 14th July 6pm BST
An evening session with Samantha Rose, Communicating Beyond the Human, is a sacred space to empower your creative self and connect with your deepest creative visions. Drawing from a lineage of storytelling passed down through generations and honed through years of practice with masters like Martin Shaw, Samantha invites participants into a rich, soulful practice of listening and communicating with the more-than-human world. Around the fire, through sacred storytelling and deep presence, you’ll learn to attune and reconnect with the wisdom that lives beyond words and is at the heart of creative inspiration and intuition.
The Art of Embodiment Part I
with Morgan Kulas
Live Online Session 30th August 10am BST
A session with Morgan Kulas in The Art of Embodiment invites creative practitioners to explore how the body itself can become both vessel and guide for artistic expression. Drawing on her training in dance, performance studies and regenerative culture, Morgan leads participants through somatic practices that deepen the connection between body, mind and earth. This session offers practical methods for integrating embodiment into your daily life alongside contemplative inspiration drawn from living systems. This session opens up new creative possibilities rooted in the felt intelligence of the body and its symbiosis with the natural world.

Reading the Land
with Marian Boswall
Live Online Session 14th October 6pm UK
A workshop with Marian Boswall, Reading The Land explores how we can support our land, gardens and shared outdoor spaces and in turn nurture ourselves, with imagination, resilience and hope. Drawing on her work as a leading landscape architect and regenerative designer, Marian reveals how designing with nature can restore both ecological and emotional balance. You’ll discover how to use planting, pattern and purpose to support biodiversity, sequester carbon and foster beauty that serves the planet as well as the spirit. Whether you work with words, images, movement or materials, this workshop invites a shift in perspective, towards designing with living systems, listening to land and embedding your creative practice in acts of regeneration.
Liminal Making
with Rima Staines
Live Online Session 8th November 6pm GMT
Rima has a long-held fascination with the idea of the liminal - that which lies at the edge of culture and society as well as the literal boundaries between one place and another, both metaphorical and real - and with the power of art that comes from that place.
“My belief in the power of art to change things runs deep, and thus my work is very much simultaneously alchemy and activism. I am fascinated by how talismanic, apotropaic imagery has been used throughout human history to make real magic, and it is in that realm that I work. Myth and story, of course, are vital threads in my work - they speak truth to us in a similar non-linear language to that which imagery speaks, we need them more than we think we do because inside them are old maps back home.”
