Openly Spaced Out
Sunday mornings and, in addition, whenever someone calls it, in Hilly Fields Park or other local parks SE London. Open to all.
This meetup serves a reconnecting to nature as we move outdoors and enjoy socialising at the same time. It tunes a togetherness that is bodily aware, integrating a way of socialising that is mobile, can breathe and pause. It's up to you if you want to speak much or little, move or rest. What matters is the open negotiation of it and to become increasingly more relaxed to move as we feel like and need to in this social and public sphere that has nature as witness and support. We hope to inspire a regularity to shape new habits and expand into a bodily aware togetherness.

>>>Zine and Dinner of Doing Things
C. Vasilikou and L. Doehler initiated a research called
Architecture of Togetherness that stems from residencies at the arts and community space
Ponderosa and works towards the development of their site and vision as well as other communities in London and abroad. The question we ask is how somatic practices shape a togetherness which would impact our views on identity and values and consequently informs the way we inhabit, interact and therefore build (or dismantle) our environment. We invited our Exit Map community to take part because these questions concern us all and many are interested to exchange and share the process of vision making towards a more socially, bodily aware and environmentally connected way of life. Our processes (dinners and meetups where we speak and move) brought forth this gorgeous and rich
