Sophy (she/her)
Education and Events Assistant & ResidentCould you tell us about your role and responsibilities at Braziers Park?
I’m the Education & Events Support Worker at Braziers Park. My role involves supporting facilitators during courses, liaising between event leaders and Braziers’ resident community, and assisting the Education Coordinator with research, promotion, and event programming.
Have you got a special place at Braziers – if so, could you tell us what makes it so special?
All of the woodland surrounding Braziers is special to me. I’ve always felt drawn to forests, in equal parts by the mystery and comfort of being enveloped by trees. Witnessing freshly fallen branches, alongside the subtle growth of the many varieties of mosses and fungi; I enjoy that the pace of the forest is slow but it still has a pace.
How do you envision Braziers in the future?
Living and working in this environment has reinforced my appreciation for spaces that foster non-didactic learning through conversation and creative exchange. I hope Braziers continues to exist as a space uniquely conducive to celebrating the spoken word, amplifying diverse voices, and expanding worldviews.
