These new seasonal poetry sessions are facilitated by Lynne Christine Ridden an art/eco psychotherapist, poet and trustee of plot 22. She describes her work as simply elemental, creatively supporting ways to find balance and natural rhythm as we move through the cycle of the seasons, the spring, summer, autumn and winter of our lives. Each workshop stands alone however attending each session will allow for a deeper experience of journeying together around the wheel of the year as we share favourite poems related to each season. There will also be quiet time in each session allowing the opportunity for your own poetry to emerge inspired by the natural beauty of Plot 22.

An introduction to nature based mindfulness with our newest guest host, Jiva Masheder.

"Perhaps you've heard about how mindfulness meditation can help with stress, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or just not feeling very present in your life?

It's all true....and backed by research evidence. Many people find practicing mindfulness outdoors easier than inside, and that by being mindful and really noticing what's there, the natural sense of joy and peace that often comes from being outside in nature is increased".

Over a series of 4 sessions, Jiva will introduce you to the fundamentals of mindfulness, using the Plot 22 space as inspiration. You'll be able to apply the approaches learned everywhere you go, helping to find peace and calm even in the middle of a busy life.

A gentle and welcoming en plein air painting session at Plot 22. Materials, tea and conversation included.

Hosted by Emma Baars from TheHouseOutside, together we’ll spend time outdoors, observing and responding to the garden as it is on that exact day — noticing what’s growing, what’s shifting, and what quietly draws our attention. This is an invitation to slow down and explore living landscapes on a small scale through watercolour, guided by curiosity rather than expectation.

In early July, the garden is full of small, fleeting moments: the scent of lavender and rosemary just beginning to intensify in the warmth, pea flowers curling into pods, strawberries ripening in flashes of red, and tomato plants stretching taller by the day. You might notice the delicate blossoms of beans and sweet peas, the papery skins forming on garlic, or the first signs of fruit swelling on apple and fig trees. These subtle transitions offer endless inspiration for mark-making, colour, and form.

This session also creates space to reflect on how being in botanical environments can support our wellbeing — how attention, slowness, and connection to growing things can ground and restore us.

No experience is needed — this is a space for everyone. Please get in touch with Emma if you have any questions in advance of the event.

Materials will be provided, but if you have your own watercolour set, you’re very welcome to bring it along. Ticket price includes materials, tea and locally baked organic biscuits. 

Come as you are, and spend a few hours noticing, painting, and being present in the garden.

Join us for an experience like no other: our inclusive interactive exploration of a beautiful garden in Hove, using fun and creative listening and sound-making tools together to appreciate our senses and shared spaces. We invite you to open your ears to experience and enjoy our surroundings together.

Listening encourages space and pause, invites us to be curious, and requires us to be fully present. Being fully active in listening allows us to attune to the moment, and can be revitalising. We can do it at any time – try it!: when you get to the end of this sentence, stop and open your ears for a few seconds. What did you hear? How did it feel?

Creating listening-based soundpieces together has a high feelgood factor – no musical experience is required, and it’s fun to make something as a group.
