The Concept:

The Conservatory aims to provide a space for adults and the elderly to reflect, learn and nurture their own sense of self in order to promote intellectual wellbeing, which has a direct but often overlooked link to mental health. This is inclusive of teenagers on the verge of adulthood, so that they are given the tools and environment necessary to develop introspective thinking from a young age. This has particular importance as many are soon to leave institutional education forever. The space is to create a dynamic link between the material and natural world so that members can easily access both depending on where their curiosity and insights lead them.
