 This is a unique community of creative people with diverse backgrounds and a keen sense of the connection between personal experience and wider societal patterns. As such we have an opportunity to pro-actively address burning issues, emerging trends, systemic changes that are deeply rooted in our (holistic) values and life experiences. We can co-create meaningful experiences that go beyond process facilitation, involve non-human entities or stretch our senses beyond consensus reality. While the creative process might be similar to the one used in the 'process design lab', in this case we are 'our own clients'. We create our own brief, based on the collective vision of the Hosts community, informed by our individual life experiences connected to observed societal needs, arising from our hopes and dreams. And then we celebrate. The studio is our playground, where we can be completely self-driven to explore things deeply care about. The results of our studio could be hosting packages, which can be adapted to different groups and contexts. For example, a "burn-out prevention clinic", "rituals for everyday transitions", "grow your own futures kit", "botanic choir" or "flavour pairing" as team-building, etc. See the page on [[activities]] to find out what these packages might become... This is a unique community of creative people with diverse backgrounds and a keen sense of the connection between personal experience and wider societal patterns.
