At Meadowbrook we are creating a gathering space, a social space, and an opportunity space; where the seeds of community can germinate, take root and flourish. A safe and healthy community IS possible, even if we have struggled to experience it positively in the past. We will offer a varied mix of meaningful activities. We will gather and share experiences. We will share simple pleasures and make memories which help forge a deeper sense of togetherness. The fact is that isolation and loneliness have the capacity to erode dreams and purpose. In contrast, healthy, inclusive gatherings and communities encourage dreams to reignited and purpose to be found.

Community means sharing time, resources, and life with a true cross section of humanity. Having our edges rubbed off, building one another up and sticking with each other when the proverbial hits the fan. It isn’t a walk in the park! But the benefits to ourselves, and those around us can be truly transformative. It’s so good to both get support and be supportive. We are better off when we know our value and worth. When we are heard. When we experience a heartfelt welcome each time. When our company and contribution is noticed and missed when we can’t show up.

Meadowbrook is all about creating a unique outdoors space where there will be a wide range of opportunities into which we can dip our toes or even perhaps get fully immersed. Lots of opportunity for self-expression, playfulness and just having a go at stuff. Meadowbrook will be an outdoors space that’s for all. Really for all. Really affordable. Really inviting. Jam-packed full of atmosphere and imagination. A place where folks will want to linger in and return to.

Outside is the new inside.

Let’s be honest. After the last few years, we are no longer phased by wrapping up in all weathers to get a blast of fresh air and be able to gather outdoors with others. We have come to reappreciate the therapeutic qualities of nature and are now used to the concept of indoor-outdoor shelters as means of being comfortable in the elements. As a result of this shift,  lots of lovely (but usually pricey) grown-up  ‘playgrounds’  have sprung up. We ourselves think these new outdoorsy venues are rather cool! However, the downside is that they are often where the more privileged in society tend to hang out. We want to address this imbalance.
