What we will do

Working with Jason and Lorna we will use a wide variety of music technologies to listen to the built and natural world. This may include recording the building, water, earth, plants and fungi. We will decide where to spend time, and learn how to use music technologies to listen to roots, leaves, mushrooms and more. The pieces we record will form a co-created piece of music celebrating this unique environment.

About your mentor

Greenwood Growth CIC

Immerse, discover, connect in nature.

Greenwood Growth CIC

We work in community woodland offering compassionate support to people focused on connection to self, others and a belonging to the natural world. Over half the population lives within six miles of a forest or small woodland and we think most people don’t visit them at all, or just pass through. Greenwood Growth makes your local space fun, safe and inviting places to spend time. We want to get you amongst the trees to begin exploring and to feel the positive effect on health and well-being for yourself.
