The vision and the forward-looking intentions of Together Culture in this area in Cambridge and as a community are inspiring.

The enthusiasm, encouragement and support from everyone has helped me to focus, be accountable and build momentum in my business.

For the first time I realised we have a choice to live in autopilot mode or create what doesn't exist yet.

When I joined Together Culture there wasn't even a building ready, and from the very beginning contributing to make it happen made me feel being part of something good. I’m giving back to the community that has given me so much in just a few years.

I'm a writer, and have been for what feels like my entire life. Monthly sessions with Kate Rhodes called 'Turn Up and Write' has been teaching me new things, lets me share my ideas to get a variety of feedback, and provides a specific time to write and brainstorm.

We are a great group with different voices. We can sing together as a choir, giving space and rhythm to each other.

The people I have met have enriched my life in a way that I think goes beyond a normal co-working space like WeWork.

Experiencing the community is an important part of the process - there is something new and different with Together Culture, and it takes time to understand.

What I’m working on now is more about the process. You know, what am I going through? What am I thinking about? How can I express myself?

I wanted to be connected with people and to at least recognise people…I wanted a genuinely welcoming space. And I found it walking past on launch party day, where I signed-up on the spot! A wonderfully life changing decision.

We’re actually going to a garden tomorrow to just wander around and get some inspiration. That’s been a great result of spending time working beside each other at Together Culture - we’re gently encouraging and motivating each other.

My hope for Cambridge is a multi-cultural and multi-generational community. Whatever age you are, and whatever age I am, it's possible to have dialogue - with anybody, whatever their cultural root or age.

‘I had an idea to do live drawings as a response to prompts that the audience would give me. My hope was that this would also spark conversations about the development of generative AI technology versus artists in action. Basically I was trying to prove I draw better than AI!’

‘Perhaps if we imagine, believe, and build a world in which there’s no need for the word citizening (say it out loud, it surely doesn’t trip off the tongue, so there’s that…) we might end up creating communities where the daily business of simply being human was citizening.’

‘Underpinning Earth & Mind is a vision to plant the seeds of change that can protect our natural environment. I like to think of it as Cultural Activism.’

“Together we realised that we are a powerful force for good!” Meet Roberta and Pauline, two members who met at Together Culture and have been collaborating.

We realised that at the time of year when coziness becomes our calling, we are doing some of our most profound creating. We reflect, we pause to notice the enormity of small things, we reconnect with our values, we take care of ourselves and one another. We make space to be fully human.

“Everything at Together culture encourages deep thinking and feeling. We're always encouraged to look within ourselves and connect with others, forming meaningful relationships. Every person here brings new perspectives and challenges you to grow. It's like looking in a mirror and being inspired to change.”
