Community Days

Our Community Days are a chance to come together six times a year to improve and maintain the space, share food and spend time together. Children are welcome, though younger ones will need to be supervised. We hold a reflective circle on deschooling and our experiences as families and professionals after lunch. Everyone is welcome to join us for some or all of the day.

It’s a good chance for families or people who work with young people, who want to know more about how the learning community works , as well as to meet us and the families who are part of our community. Please join our Matrix community, to find out more about our Community Days.

Unfortunately the space is not accessible to all as it is up a steep slope but please let us know if we can make this more accessible for you or if you have any questions.
