SOIL Wider Community Weekend: Celebrating all things earthy!

About the event:

Braziers Park has a long history in hosting so-called ‘Wider Community Weekends’, where people come together for an often extended weekend to exchange skills, stories, and experiences. Braziers’ second Wider Community Weekend this year will be curated around the theme ofsoil and will take the shape of a gathering – celebrating all things earthy!

The main focus of this gathering will be on building and promoting a healthy relationship with the ground below our feet and to explore the rich life that exists within our soil ecosystems. Some of the planned activities include organic seed and plant swapping, clay harvesting and sculpting in the Braziers landscape, community gardening and planting, deep-listening and earthy reading sessions, community restoring of Braziers’ wood-fired kiln, muddy painting for children (and adults), garden tours, including an introduction to Braziers’ mushroom growing project, nettle foraging, cooking and bread-baking, soil chromatographic printing, and much much more.

Our Wider Community Weekends are a great opportunity to get to know our community and mutually exchange experiences and skills. Our SOIL Wider Community Weekend is the second in a series of three weekends, engaging with our 2025 theme of SOIL ~ SOUL ~ SOCIETY – based on the peace and environmental activist Satish Kumar’s ideas explored in his 2013 book Soil, Soul, Society: A New Trinity of Our Time. In his book, Satish invites us to think of us, humans, as members of a one-earth society, and claims that caring for the earth and soul is interrelated.
