The Making Kin project

Making Kin begins with a question, not an answer. How do we enter with care?

We believe that wellbeing doesnʼt arrive fully formed, it emerges slowly, through attention, through practice, through learning new infrastructures of community.

Our Visitorʼs Yurt in Stanmer Park, Brighton, is a place for noticing. For listening. For moving gently through this moment, side by side.

“How do I do it with care? ... When you enter the house, you take off your shoes. Iʼm going to take off my shoes to enter something important.

I want to take off the shoes of my voice so that I can enter a place with care, so that I can do the work that I need to do.ˮ

– Ocean Vuong

How do we gather?

Making Kin unfolds through a series of invitations: workshops, conversations, embodied practices, shared meals, or moments of quiet attention - often shaped in collaboration with guest practitioners, artists, and facilitators.

Where do we gather?

SOCH Plot, Stanmer Organics, Stanmer Park, Brighton, UK.

Making Kinʼs first home is the Visitorʼs Yurt, set within the SOCH plot at Stanmer Organics in Brighton - a working landscape shaped by seasons, soil, and shared stewardship.

Here, the land is part of the practice. We gather with an awareness of where we are and why weʼre here - and what it means to be in relationship with the ground beneath our feet.
