EXPLORE & CREATE
We invite you to engage with place through reflection, movement, and making. These activities are designed to be flexible and accessible, whether you are working on your own, in a classroom, or with a community group.
Grounded in the values of the 250/150 initiative, these practices encourage attentiveness to land, memory, and relationship. Some ask you to slow down and listen while others invite creative response, connecting place to lived experience. You are encouraged to explore and adapt these activities in ways that feel meaningful to you.
Check back often – new projects will be added throughout 2026.
