A Transformational Gathering for Regenerative Living in the Northeast

We invite you to a 4-day immersive gathering of land stewards, cultural carriers, community organizers, artists, healing practitioners, educators, scientists, builders, technologists, families, & others working toward a regenerative future in the Northeast bioregion of Turtle Island (North America).

Whether you're living in an intentional community, stewarding a farm or land project, organizing mutual aid, designing alternative economies, holding space for healing & cultural transformation, or seeking your place in this larger movement - this event is for you.

The Northeast Eco-Communities Convergence is a space for learning, connection, celebration, & collaborative action. It’s a time to gather across generations, build lasting relationships, & strengthen the bioregional ecosystem of people & projects working toward a just & abundant future.
