What's happening

Real projects, led by real people round here. Some are up and running, some are still ideas looking for hands. Say you're interested and it helps them happen.

Next up

Saturday 31 October 2026 · 10.30am · Shackleford

Hosted by Tim and Sue. A plain-talking briefing on where the climate and nature crisis has got to, and what we can actually do about it here.

Then a visit to Norney Farm to see how they're putting solar, water harvesting and regenerative agriculture to work, finishing with a wilderness walk across the land.

Part of the spirit: less worry, more doing.

The Human Bit

A circle on being analogue humans in a digital world

Thursday 12 November 2026 · 7pm to 9pm · The studio on the hill, Catteshall Lane · Free

AI has crept into our work, our homes and our heads faster than any of us expected. Some of it's brilliant. Some of it's unsettling. Most of us haven't had time to stop and ask what we actually want from it.

So let's. One evening, in a circle, sharing real stories: where it's helped, where it's taken over, and where we want to stay properly human. We'll leave with one intentional change each, and maybe a project or two to do together.

Hosted by Kev Self. Kev brings a few weeks of living with an AI team that runs his home, his diary and his business: the good, the weird, and what he's learning about staying embodied.

How it'll go: a grounded check-in (one breath, one word) · a story round · open conversation · one change each to close.

Bring: a story, an open mind, and a bottle if you fancy one.

Booking link coming soon. Say you're interested and we'll send it.

Home & around

Choosing solar

with Tim · Norney

Home & around

Automating your home

with Kev · Godalming

Kev runs his solar, hot water and heating with a small home computer. Learn the simple automations that save the most money and fuss.

Rain, gardens and cider

with Tim · Norney

Catch your rainwater, grow a regenerative veg patch, and turn the apple glut into cider. Tim is writing up how he does all three.

Land & nature

Bug houses and vertical gardens

with Rieks · Milford

Make homes for the small wild things, and grow up a wall when you have no room to grow out.

Being well

Micro homes, off-grid loos and a community sauna

with Carl · Green Spaces

Small, clever buildings, loos that need no mains, and a sauna to share. Come and see how they go together.

Love & connection

Navigate Change

with Ruth · Coaching

Coaching for when life is shifting under your feet, and a kind ear if you're worried about where things are heading.

These come from the League of Transition Towns pilot. Leads and details are still being shaped with each person, so dates come later.

And a few gatherings you'll have to find for yourself. Keep your eyes open on the main page.
