Building a Neurodiverse Community
Marie Martin returns with her retreat designed for Neurodivergent adults, whether diagnosed or self-determined and is open to anyone interested.
Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th January 2027
Space is available on this event

Returning for a third year at Othona Community, Bradwell, this interactive workshop takes a deeper look at what it means to create and sustain genuinely neuro-inclusive spaces.
Led by Marie Martin, founder of Building A Neurodiverse Community CIC (BANC), the session will explore how communities can move beyond awareness towards meaningful inclusion, where neurodivergent people feel understood, valued, and able to thrive. Drawing on lived experience, community development, and practical approaches to neuro-inclusion, participants will be invited to reflect, share ideas, and discover ways to create environments that foster belonging, wellbeing, and connection.
Join us for a thought-provoking and engaging session as we continue the journey of building stronger, more inclusive communities for everyone.
