Thurs 29th October 2026, Meet at Claremont Quad – Breathing Into Place: Sustaining Practices of Ecorelational Belonging with Lotte Dijkstra

Over the past four years, Lotte Dijkstra explored how to foster intersectional environmental belonging for her PhD research at Newcastle University. Her resulting creative practice of place-based storytelling offers embodied invitations to step into relation with place, time, and more-than-human kin. Breathing into Place is the continuation of this exploration. It asks how those initial steps into belonging can evolve towards a sustained practice of ecorelational belonging. This developing creative practice research involves breathing, listening, and storying in reciprocity with each other and the more-than-human world.

This workshop takes place outside, so come dressed for the weather. Bring a hot drink if you like. Be prepared to breathe, walk, listen, and share stories.
