Poesis will provide a place for people to:

Re-view

• Activities that educate, stimulate and challenge us

• Practices that cultivate contemplation, dialogue and wisdom

  (e.g. Talks from thought leaders, philosophy for children)

Re-connect

• Activities that nurture creativity, play, art, music, dance, storytelling, sharing

• Practices that help us connect to ourselves, others, the wider world (physically, mentally, spiritually), and to what matters

  (e.g. Community folk sessions, young person clay sessions)

Re-make

• Activities that invite reflection and action, both individual and collective

• Practices that support imagination and creativity, in relation to the future we want to create together

  (e.g. Imagination practices, open project nights)

The activities and practices will be for:

o   Individuals of all ages

o   Organisations societally focussed

o   Community

Pre-Assumption

Poesis has a starting point that humanity is entering a period of unprecedented transformation whether we’re shaping it or merely responding.

We don’t find helpful either the imagined futures of great doom or techno-optimism, and are choosing to provide a space where we can explore the path in between these two positions.

We believe we have agency at a local level and seek to support that.
