A space for Black communities to reimagine and reshape how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the world we live in.
From the Ground Up presents Everyday Ecologies, a new series beginning with everyday life. Through shared noticing, gathering and reasoning, we will build on what we already know to shape action around health, place and power in London.
Explore Everyday Ecologies
Everyday Ecologies invites you to slow down, notice and reason collectively about the relationship between people, place, health and power in London. You can join us in three different ways, each designed to fit around different lives, schedules and levels of availability. Explore the three ways to join us

We’re building From the Ground Up
A shared practice and learning space for Black communities to reimagine and remake environments and systems that shape our futures.
Come gather, reflect and reason with us.
Over the last three years, we have worked with Black community leaders in South London to explore how we can begin with what we already know, strengthen our ecological imagination, and grow the relationships, tools, and collective power needed for our communities to live well.
Through experiments with rest, reasoning, imagining and making, From the Ground Up holds space for our knowledge and histories to shape the broader conversations and systems we are working to change.
