    CONFLUENCE | SEPTEMBER 24–27

    Confluência | 24–27 september We're gathering at Traditional Dream Factory (tdf) for the first edition of Confluência, a burn-style gathering exploring what becomes possible when people working towards regenerative futures come together. Six interconnected themes: 🌿 Land Stewardship · restoring ecosystems, soils and water 🌍 Bioregional Development · connecting projects and communities at landscape scale 🫂 Relationality · movements grounded in inner work, care and repair 🌱 Post-Capitalist Organising · working beyond extraction and endless growth 🏘️ Local Integration · relationships with neighbouring communities, cultures and local knowledge 💸 Finance & Resourcing · how money and resources can nourish people, projects and ecosystems We don't offer a fixed program. Instead, we offer a strong container with the land, the themes, and the people coming together. Come to share what you're doing. Come with questions. Come to listen. Come with offerings and gifts. Come to be changed by what emerges. Or reach out to explore your role. 🎶 Saturday night: concert with Andreia na Terra Singer-songwriter Andreia na Terra and her band play the outdoor stage at 20:30. Arrive from 20:00. There's a Saturday day ticket (€45) including the concert, two meals and participation in the Open Space. a €25 discount code is available for those who need it. Everyone contributes differently, money is just one way. We have Accessibility Tickets available for those who need them, and Supporter Tickets for those who can contribute more. 👥 up to 100 participants More info & tickets via the link below: https://www.traditionaldreamfactory.com/events/confluencia-practicing-belonging-stewardship
