The MY Experience Blog

WELCOME TO THE MY EXPERIENCE BLOG

The MY Experience Blog explores the ideas, patterns and lessons that emerge from real-world experiences.

Many of the insights shared here originate from Living Labs, community initiatives and collaborative experiments documented in the TARA Lab Journal. Through reflection and dialogue, these experiences are transformed into concepts, frameworks, methodologies, practical tools and new perspectives that can inspire innovation and positive change.

Many articles are also shaped through conversations, questions and co-creation processes taking place within the TARA Co-Creation Circle, an online platform for people interested in community building, rural regeneration, meaningful living, collaborative innovation and new ways of working together across cultures and disciplines.

The Circle is a space for sharing experiences, exchanging ideas and resources, participating in webinars and virtual gatherings, and exploring collaborative opportunities. It is where many of the insights, questions and themes explored in this blog first emerge through collective reflection and dialogue.

If the ideas explored in this blog resonate with you, consider becoming part of the wider learning community.

Access to the Circle is currently available to supporters of MY Experience.
