Gather. Root. Remember. Regenerate.

🔥 A Transformational Gathering for Regenerative Living in the Northeast Bioregion

This August 21st-24th (2025), we invite you to a 4-day immersive gathering of land stewards, cultural carriers, community organizers, artists, healing practitioners, educators, funders, scientists, builders, technologists, families, and others working toward a regenerative future in the Northeast bioregion of 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 and 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, and collaborative action. It’s a time to gather across generations, build lasting relationships, and strengthen the bioregional ecosystem of people and projects working toward a just and abundant future.

Throughout the event, we’ll host dedicated sessions for community land stewards across the Northeast to:

Present what they’re working on

Our intention is to cultivate:

Deepened relationships and long-term collaborations
Real-world land-based improvements through permaculture builds
A shared network of stewards and supporters mapped and mobilized
A replicable model for regenerative gatherings
Joy, reverence, and renewed purpose
