The Mullumbimby Commons is proud to announce the official opening of Wildspace on October 8.
This new learning space will be a place where the community can participate ‘as learners and teachers in just about any area of interest people care to explore.’
Organisers say the main objectives of the joint project are to reimagine learning and education and to unite change-makers.
‘The Commons’, more recently known as Little Shearwater at 91 Main Arm Road, has been a ‘living and breathing’ intentional community since January 2017.
Reimagine learning
Australia’s first Agile Learning Centre, a homeschool resource centre providing a child-led, self-directed environment, is preparing to open on the site in January 2018.
One of Wildspace’s three co-ordinators Juli Gassner says ‘We aim to provide a space for experiences ranging from activism to artistic expression, from body movement to community gardening, from potlucks to wild ideas sessions, from conscious cinema to women’s and men’s circles.’
‘One of our key ideas is to share gift culture with the community. Hence, most of the experiences will be offered as gifts with voluntary donation.’
Activities for the grand opening – which promises to be a ‘12-hour grand fiesta’ – include co-created art, fun games, clowning and social sports, mind games and political intrigue and music and dinner by the fire. Juli can be contacted on 0404 636 252 for more info, or see the website wildspace.net.au.
