LoopLAB: A Micro-Recycling Design & Make Experience

LoopLAB brings the recycling studio to your school, community, workplace, or event. In small groups, participants identify a problem, brainstorm product concepts, and prototype a solution in playdough — then shred plastic and injection mould their design into a finished object they take home. Sessions open up bigger conversations about design thinking, problem plastics, and what local circularity can look like.

Plastic Fantastic: A Micro-Recycling Experience

Plastic Fantastic brings the recycling studio to your school, community, workplace, or event. Participants work with locally collected plastic waste through each stage of the recycling process: sorting, shredding, designing, and injection molding.  Every participant leaves with something they've made from a material that would have been otherwise thrown away. 

An Active Hope Workshop: Roots and Wonder Resilience for this Changing World

Using principles from The Work That Reconnects, you'll learn about Active Hope, participate in guided group practices, be invited to share about your experience, and create space to listen deeply to others. This will be a supportive and inclusive space where we can connect and process together.
