Poesis will be a new kind of community space in York where people of all ages come together to explore what it means to be human during this time of profound planetary change. We’re creating a place that’s part cultural hub, part learning space, and part community living room - where you can belong. Through meaningful dialogue, hands-on workshops, and simply being together, we’re finding ways to engage with both global challenges and our inner lives, as a community.

‘The times are urgent; let’s slow down’ (Quote by Bayo Akamolafe): 25th September 2025 (6.30 for 7pm start), Jacob's Well, Trinity Lane, York

This dialogue session will offer the space to slow down with others. To sit in circle, reflect and give attention to, what we might not usually acknowledge.

Hosted by Mariandrea Rojas Lopez, Group Dialogue Practitioner and Fay Andrews-Hodgson, Poesis Director & Dialogue practitioner.

We will be exploring the question: ‘What matters?.. as our ways of being and knowing become insufficient to face the complex challenges of our world’.

Connecting with others in a different way, all voices are welcomed and no conclusions are required.

This is a particularly good for those seeking to explore a practices of deep listening and being present to whatever is happening.

This session will include a one-pot vegetarian supper and discussion.
