The Greenermind Summit is back for our 13th year!
Join us May 15-17, 2026 in Cazadero, CA.

ABOUT

🌿 Hosted in the Russian River redwood forest, just 90 miles north of San Francisco, Greenermind is one part summer camp, one part collective exploration, one part restorative retreat and one part choose-your-own-adventure - produced by a passionate community you’re invited to join.

Our days offer a blend of structured activities and open time to relax, explore, and connect. Experiences include:

Group meals
Participant-crafted conversations
Campfire songs
Costumes and dance parties
Group games
Solo reflection and mindfulness
Napping in the redwoods by the creek
And whatever else you’d like to bring to the event

The entire experience is participant-driven. You’re invited to host a workshop, lead an activity, or share something you love.

🌿 You’ll meet fun, curious, mission-driven people from many walks of life—entrepreneurs, educators, designers, artists, scientists, parents, activists, and change-makers. Job titles fade away here. This is a space to unplug, breathe fresh air, laugh a lot, and build meaningful relationships around what matters to you.

🌿 The 2026 summit takes place in the redwoods at a semi-rustic camp in Sonoma County, featuring a dining hall, lodge, indoor bathrooms, tent decks and dorms, a creek, a pool, and a beautiful amphitheater with a stage.

🌿 All meals are included from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch (6 meals), and are served buffet-style in the dining hall, with accommodations for many dietary needs.

🌿 We welcome kids and families, with childcare for children ages 3 to 12. Parents benefit from child care staff to help both adults and kids get the most out of their days.

🌿 There’s no wrong way to do Greenermind - whether you attend every activity or none at all, wander the forest solo, dive into deep conversations, or join spontaneous dance parties. The summit is a flexible container designed to support what you need in each moment.

If you're looking to meet people with shared values, get fresh perspectives on ideas you've been exploring, or unplug for a weekend in nature - join us.

KIDS

KIDS ARE WELCOME AT GREENERMIND!

⭐ We offer childcare during the day for children ages 3 to 12, led by two experienced childcare providers. In the evenings, parents work together to care for children.

Visit our website where you'll find details on activities, safety, planning, and more.

⭐ Kids’ tickets are offered at a subsidized price, and helps cover the cost of lodging, meals, and our paid childcare staff. Because we have a limited number of spots for children, we encourage families to register early.

⭐ Children under three: If there is enough interest, we may be able to offer childcare for younger children. If this would be helpful for your family, please let us know when you register so we can gauge interest, or email us at info@greenermindsummit.com.

VENUE & LODGING

We’re fortunate to gather at Camp Cazadero, a nonprofit camp nestled in the redwoods. The camp hosts many music programs throughout the year, making it a perfect setting for Greenermind. There are quiet spaces for conversations and workshops, places to relax by the creek, and peaceful corners to read or reflect.

The camp also features a beautiful amphitheater for performances and a large deck under the trees for dancing.

Accommodations

🌿 Most participants stay in shared tent cabins (2–4 people). We’ll do our best to match you with cabin mates who have similar sleep schedule preferences.

🌿 There is also a space for car or tent camping if you prefer to bring your own setup.

You can learn more on their website.

AGENDA

We'll arrive Friday afternoon and depart Sunday after lunch. Each day balances structure and openness, seriousness and fun, action and reflection.

The summit agenda is designed based on your input and contributions which means there will be participant-led workshops, games, small-group discussions, campfires, costume parties, and playful activities. A more detailed schedule will be shared in the weeks leading up to the event.

As a volunteer-run gathering, Greenermind relies on everyone pitching in. During the weekend, participants can sign up for short on-site volunteer shifts to help support the event.

NEW THIS YEAR...

🌿🎶 Eco-Soul Brothas Songwriting Workshop & Live Performance 🎸

This year, Greenermind's Saturday night gets an extra dose of soul.

We're welcoming the Eco-Soul Brothas — part of the Bay Area's beloved Radioactives band — for an unforgettable evening of music and co-creation on May 16th.

The Eco Soul Brothas are songwriter/guitarist Michael Roberts and vocalist Will Hammond Jr. They make original, soulful music and videos designed to educate and inspire people about healing the Earth — from celebrating native plants and pollinators to sparking joy-driven climate action.

Songwriting workshop — As part of GMS’s daytime programming, Mike & Will will lead an interactive songwriting workshop on developing climate-related, funky songs. Hands-on, participatory, no experience needed.
Live acoustic/electric set — A groovy, soulful performance that flows straight into a dance party. In Camp Cazadero's beautiful amphitheater, nestled in the redwoods and under the stars. ✨

It's the Greenermind spirit in musical form: participant-driven, purpose-filled, and a lot of fun!
