Join us at The Cave!—The September 2025 edition will focus on the theme of Joy & Recreation. Bring your ideas and experiences to explore together how this important topic relates to the built environment and to your practice in particular.

The Cave is a gathering space for members of the Conscious Design Network who are actively exploring the frontiers of science-informed, people-centred design. It is a space where you can seek inspiration, peer-to-peer support and a trusted community to navigate the complexities of a field and industry in development.

This series, open to all members, allows attendees to introduce themselves and bring inquiries or specific requests to the community—whether seeking a critique of a text or idea, research partners, or business advice.

After initial presentations the session is centered around a theme from the CCD Designing for Life Framework, or the Conscious Design Principles. This format ensures that each meeting focuses on a specific topic while also enabling further support and collaboration offline among members.
