Explore the Understory [Last year's invitation]

 

At Enspiral Summerfests, we walk alongside one another in pursuit of "more people working on stuff that matters.” Last year, we explored the Edgelands, the spaces in-between, and we look forward to continuing this journey through another in-between space, The Understory.

 

In nature, the Understory is a diverse composition of brush, pioneer trees, shrubs, and flaxes, dirt, compost, mycelium, and all living beings that find their home here. This complex, messy arrangement of all things working together is essential for promoting growth and protecting life. We, being part of nature, find similar patterns of interconnectedness within our communities. It’s not one thing but rather all the parts dancing together that create the special sauce we struggle to define, but instantly recognise when we see and experience it.

 

What flows are cycling in and around us? What resources and gifts might be hidden within reach? Be welcome and arrive as you are, in celebration of what is emerging, or perhaps shed stories that are not part of the world we wish to create.

 

Co-create with peers

 

Summerfest is an invitation to co-create a generative experience for all of us; our hosting crew holds a carefully created structure that supports a space of choice, giving and receiving.

You are encouraged to shape your experience to your needs, be they lighthearted, deep, or anything in-between.

Expect interesting people and conversation, time for laughter and games… with a spacious natural backdrop, amazing, healthy and delicious food, and anything else you would like to bring!
