The 2025 program took inspiration from gardening as both a concept and practice. The theme centered on the cultivation of spaces where needs are met, growth is nurtured, and meaningful learning takes place. Landscape architect and urbanist, Ilze Rukšane from Latvia, collaborated as a guest facilitator, leading immersive outdoor experiences that centered on our relationship to plants and connection to environment through natural dying workshops, forest therapy meditations, and nature walks.
