Seeds of BEiNg
A growth initiative that invites you to put your hands in the soil, grow something small, and watch it unfold. Inspired by Ben Uri's love of soil, of plants, and of looking inward.

Every seed starts in the dark.
Plant, document, share
Three small steps, the way Ben would have taken them: get a seed and give it soil, follow what happens to it, and let someone else be part of it.

A shared space that will widen later into workshops, talks and gatherings.
Coming soon. For now you can leave your details and be among the first to know.
The earth remembers everything.
Ben Uri
Ben was ninety kilos of ❤️
The kind of person nobody stays indifferent to. Wildly funny, caring without limits, a boy of light and love with a soul that saw the world. His smile was the kind that lights up a whole room.
His hug was the kind that pushes all the air out of you and makes room for something new. He was the glue of the family, the spirit of the group, the one who always asks how you are doing and somehow really means it.
He understood plants the way people understand people. He could tell what was missing, where more light was needed, how to bring fallen leaves back, and how to give a plant the attention it needs, exactly like a person.
He worked in plant shops and in hydroponic growing, and at home he grew everything he possibly could.
In the last years of his life he set out on a journey of healing through pain, a journey of looking inward, of yoga and meditation, and of living with presence in the here and now.
On 7 October 2023 Ben was murdered at the Nova festival. His story did not begin there, and it did not end there.
Through this project we can turn that journey of growth into something that belongs to all of us.

Seeds of BEiNg Garden Kit
The Garden Kit launches soon, a small kit that holds seeds, a branded pot and a quiet reminder of who Ben was.
On its way to you. Leave your details and you will be the first to hear when it goes out.
A digital growth journal
Alongside the kit we are launching a digital growth journal, a personal space that records the plant and also the person tending it. Notes, thoughts, inspiration and personal growth.
Even if you would never call yourself a plant person, we are fairly sure you will find something healing here: a hand in the soil, a breath, and something new beginning to grow.
We grow together, root by root.
There is more room to grow
Talks about growing through trauma
Community workshops for children
Merch inspired by the words and the light Ben left behind
Each one of these is another way to carry his path forward and to grow together.
