Workshops & events
Workshops and events are a great way to learn a new skill or be entertained – and, of course, to teach a skill and entertain!
Any skill or talent you are willing to share is your gift to the community. Whether you dance, make music, do yoga, sing opera, twirl nipple tassels, swing poi, meditate, play guitar, paint watercolours or practice tantra, your participation is encouraged, nay, required!
What do you want to do?
What kind of event do you want to run? Nowhere is created entirely by its participants, and that goes way beyond the Barrios that make up our temporary home. Whether you want to run a workshop to teach people new skills, put on a performance to entertain people, bring people together to create something unique and wonderful, or just have a party – the choice is yours.
Where to run your event
Middle of Nowhere
We have an amazing shared community structure, appropriately called the Middle of Nowhere, where many workshops are held. There’s room for it all… it just takes you! Some of our favourite traditions include the Miss Nowhere pageant, the Costume Camp fashion show, and the Nowhere closing ceremony, which brings everyone together on Sunday night for a shared meal. Please contact us at mon@goingnowhere.org for more information.
Why constrain yourself to a physical location! Many events can run right across the Nowhere site. Think «Tutu Tuesday» … why constrain the glory of your tutu to a single location!
How to plan your event?
If you want to run an event at the Middle of Nowhere («MoN»), there is a team of people dedicated to managing the space.
- write to our email mon@goingnowhere.og and propose your workshop (requiring also for grant if you need it),
