we are a growing team of facilitators, mentors, artists and activists.

"On summer trips to Northern Ireland, my ecologist grandad, Amyan, would take me rock-pooling. His quiet fascination inspired in me a love of nature that profoundly influenced my life. Even now, I find my happiest moments gazing into briny worlds at the mysteries they contain".

Having worked for over a decade in schools across the UK both as a teacher and associate artist/mentor/trainer, I discovered that the spaces of joyful learning were most often outside the classroom. I’m passionate about creativity and collaboration, and created dot dot dot as a container to learn alongside others.
This year, I am embarking on my own learning journey – a dot year – guided by the seasons, supported by trusted companions and emerging as a framework to support others.
