Working on Site at the FEELed Lab (Woodhaven Ecoculture Centre)

Two desks under a window, and part of a desk in the foreground. An office chair, several posters, and reading materials are also visible. A colourful carpet is on the floor, and a white ceiling slopes down to two windows in a dormer.

The FEELed Lab welcomes guests to use the lab space at Woodhaven Ecoculture Centre.

This includes use of a desk in an open office area, a shared kitchen, a toilet, wifi connectivity, and the outdoor space surrounding the centre. The Lab also has a large meeting table in the kitchen, a partially covered balcony/deck, a reading corner with two armchairs, and a small library. Desks are shared with other researchers, but lockers are available for you to store research materials (you must bring your own small size padlock). A separate clubhouse/schoolroom (with electricity but no winterization) can also be booked for research activities. A private office can sometimes be made available, e.g. for ZOOM meetings or other private conversations, upon advance request.

The lab space is available to:

  • FEELed Lab core members and FEELed Lab project affiliated researchers
  • FEELed Lab visiting researchers/artists
  • Other visitors, as guests of one of the above.

Generally, workspace is available 8 am – 6 pm on weekdays, throughout the year.

A wide angle view of a sunny day in front of the two story wood building that is Woodhaven Ecoculture entre. In the foreground three students lean against trees and lie in the grass, writing in their notebooks; one student is walking with notebook under arm. The trees are twice as tall as the building, and a bright sun shines in the background, illuminating the bright green grass and the cyan blue sky.
Working at WoodhavenI

In order to maintain a safe, convivial and comfortable community, we ask that everyone who works at the Lab to read and adhere to the guidelines for working at Woodhaven Ecoculture Centre (posted here) and to undertake a short orientation on your first visit. These orientations must be arranged by normally take place on Mondays or Wednesdays can be arranged by emailing Astrida or Julia. In some circumstances, they can be arranged with other Affiliate Researchers or Core Lab members.

We hope that folk working at the FEELed Lab affiliates will contribute to the Lab by

  • caring for this place and this community
  • participating in our events (when possible)
  • sharing thoughts, ideas and reflections through at least one “FEELed Notes” post about your research and how it might connect to and enhance FEELed Lab aims (we will help and support you in this!)

At present, the FEELed Lab has capacity to accommodate up to 8-10 researchers at one time.
