Niin meri vastaa – As the Sea Answers workshop
Join us for a co-creative workshop exploring our relationship with oceanic worlds through collective imagination and word creation exercises. Together, we’ll create entries for a living dictionary — one that reimagines how we speak about, with, and alongside nature. No prior experience needed — just curiosity and care.

Our project, Niin Luonto Vastaa (As the Nature Answers), explores our collective imagination of human–nature relationships. In 2024, we developed a new workshop format for co-creating intentional language — a tool for reflecting on and reshaping how we relate to the natural world.
Niin Luonto Vastaa aims to collaboratively build a creative dictionary: a growing collection of new words and concepts that define the needs of future nature relationships. Through this, we hope to introduce reciprocal thinking back into societies where it has been lost.
We believe that language is a powerful catalyst for change. By transforming the words we use to describe our environments, we can also transform how we relate to them — as individuals and as communities. Naming what has been unnamed or forgotten helps us collectively recognize our extractive ways and act in reciprocity.
