Squash Liverpool invite you to come and find your balance, share the harvest and to grow more hope over the Autumn Equinox weekend – a time of almost equal day and night.
Come and play out with us on and around our Windsor Street home alongside artists, gardeners, cooks & neighbours. There’ll be a raucous Harvest Auction Fundraiser sharing the precious produce of gardeners from across the city, a ritual walk along the 100-Year Street from local spring to oldest oak, ‘Trustfrastructure’ hope-building street sessions, street sofa chats & snacks, seed-saving for next years growth & Communal DJ-ing to get us all moving!
The Equinox Weekender is part of ‘Seeds of Hope’: a series of hopeful happenings taking place all across the UK this autumn, with community growing and nature connection at their heart.
Inspiring community-led events are taking place all across the UK with support from Joseph Rowntree Foundation – from Inverness to Hastings via Liverpool, Powys, Bristol and beyond – reflecting the hope and solidarity we know exists in communities everywhere, and inviting all of us to get behind it.
Amid concern about the rise of far-right populism and widespread feelings of fatalism, these celebrations of amazing people and communities growing hope and building belief in better futures are exactly what we need right now.
