          Description

          Building insight and skills for holding consent-based, self-directed communities:

          Community Meetings and Conflict Navigation.


          Saturday, 21st June, 10am-6pm

          Staveley Pavillion near Kendal, Cumbria


          Spend the day working with Sophie Christophy, co-founder and culture leader of The Cabin and The Lodge, and explore ways to:


          • set up and run opening and closing meetings for your community which empower every voice and create purpose;
          • navigate conflict when it arises in your community;
          • network and deep-dive with others working towards a rights-centred culture shift for young people.


          This training is suitable for Learning Communities, Alternative Provisions, Forest Schools or Home Ed collectives who are working towards a self-directed and consent-based culture.


          What does a self-directed and consent-based community look like?

          • People can choose what they do with their time and their bodies.
          • People can chose whether, when, how and what they engage in.
          • ‘No’ is valued equally to ‘Yes’.
          • All kinds of different ways to use your time, play and learn are valued.
          • Agreeing, together, how we can keep ourselves and each other safe and well.
          • Agreeing, together, how resources and time are used.


          What will the day look like?

          This training is hosted by Fell Kin CIC - a self-directed, consent-based setting for home educating families in South Cumbria opening in September 2025. Fell Kin is born out of a collaboration between parents of Stomping Ground CIC, who have been holding self-directed community spaces for 15 years, and the local Home Ed community. Together we wanted to create a space where young people could come together and be their authentic selves.
