Something worth talking about. Bring your life. Let it speak.

Community Life

The Bit Before It Starts

Setting out chairs. Warming up. Somebody putting the kettle on. People arriving one by one. What's good about the few minutes before your group actually begins?

Ordinary Life

That Sound

Rain on a window. Coffee starting. A ball hitting the net. A train in the distance. Which ordinary sounds do you particularly like hearing?

Ordinary Life

Worth the Detour

A bakery. A particular road. A bench. A shop three streets away. What are you prepared to make life slightly less efficient for?
