Fold the Earth with ROOTED BEINGS

Fold the Earth is a blend of raw pigment painting and a guided origami workshop.Raw pigments are materials used straight from the Earth, crushed in their organic form releasing their colour. We will be setting our imagination free with an ancient process of transformation from rocks to paint, our paintings into birds.Come play, create, fold and fly!

About the facilitators:

About Common Ground & Mind, Body + Earth

Common Ground is a summer-long series of creative and wellbeing gatherings in Brighton’s green spaces - from tucked-away corners to wide open parks. Each session is led by someone from the community offering their unique gift, whether it’s movement, storytelling, music, art, or simply holding space.

Rooted in the belief that everyone has something to offer, Common Ground invites connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the land around us.

Sessions are free, donation-based, or raising funds for causes close to the facilitator’s heart - all intentionally designed to be accessible, low-pressure, and heart-led. It’s less about being a “participant” and more about being part of something shared.

The series is run by Mind, Body & Earth (MBE) - a community-led project founded by Meg, an artist and facilitator passionate about the healing power of creativity, nature, and shared presence.

MBE exists to create spaces where people feel a sense of belonging - where care, creativity, and connection are valued over performance or perfection.

Whether you're here to draw, walk, play, reflect, or simply be - you are part of the community we’re building. And your presence is a gift.
