Regenerative Food Spaces - A Collective Futures Workshop
Details
Food connects us and reveals who we are. Do you have ideas on how you wanna be? Join us to imagine and create your future favourite restaurant, bar, or community kitchen ❤️
Join the Healthy and Tasty Planet Cooking Club, a project of The Being Well Collective, for a special evening: "Create your Favourite Food Space - A Collective Futures Workshop"!
This unique event is a partnership with L&D designer Marietta Benkhoff; it blends eating together, dreaming, and strategic planning.
We'll begin with a Potluck dinner where everyone brings one of their favourite dishes. Bring anything you like, or ingredients to make it (make sure it can be warmed or be prepared in 30 mins.
After eating together, Marietta will facilitate a fun workshop to co-create our future favourite food place where we can connect, learn, and enjoy healthy and sustainable food.
In this workshop, we will explore how to imagine and design the future you want to create together for ‘The Being Well Kitchen and Bar’ — in a way that is collaborative, grounded in purpose and connected to real action. We’ll be using elements of Dragon Dreaming, an approach that supports groups to move from ideas → shared purpose → concrete plans, while making sure every voice is included in the process.
Together we will:
* clarify a shared long-term vision for the future we want to contribute to
* identify what matters most to the collective and why
* translate this into early pathways, projects and directions we could take forward together
* learn simple tools that help us keep alignment and momentum over time
The session will be facilitated by Marietta Benkhoff (linkedin.com/in/mariettabenkhoff)
