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.
✨ What to Expect
🔧 Hands-On Action Projects — We Build While We Gather
Join us in co-creating:
Permaculture installations like food forests, hugelkultur beds, and water retention systems
Natural building projects such as earth benches, compost systems, or small ecological structures
Land-based healing practices to support soil health, pollinators, and water systems on-site
Whether you're experienced or new to this kind of earth-healing work, you’ll learn by doing—alongside a team of educators, land stewards, and community members.
💬 Stewards’ Circle: Share Your Vision, Call In Support
Throughout the event, we’ll host dedicated sessions for community land stewards across the Northeast to:
Present what they’re working on
Name the challenges they’re facing
Call in the support, collaborators, funding, or tools they need
These gatherings are a key part of bioregional regeneration—helping us witness one another, build trust, and align around shared priorities.

Learn from community leaders and peers through interactive sessions on:
Permaculture Design & Food Sovereignty

Visual art, installations, and collaborative murals
🧭 Emergent Sessions & Open Space
We’ll also host Open Space Forums—where YOU can create and lead a session on what you’re passionate about. Whether it’s mycelial governance, seed sovereignty, or community compost systems—there’s room for your wisdom and curiosity.
💠 Real-Time Mapping of Our Collective Impact
We’ll be actively mapping:
The people, communities, and projects present
What each of us is working on
What we’re calling in (support, tools, funding, collaborators)
What we’re offering (skills, knowledge, resources)
Every person becomes visible in the “web.” This mapping will help identify synergies, gaps, and opportunities for long-term collaboration. It also tracks the impact we’re making—not just at the event, but rippling outward.
🔁 We Leave a Positive Trace
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
🌍 Bioregional Movement Support from our Sponsor, Kinship Earth
Kinship Earth will be supporting the bioregional theme of the convergence by offering education on bioregionalism and Flow Funding, supporting the unfolding of the mock Bioregional Congress, and introducing the Planetary Party—a gathering model and emerging federated ecosystem currently being formed by a network of aligned organizations, people, and technologies.
While the model has not yet been piloted, this convergence will serve as a key opportunity to raise awareness, gather feedback, and galvanize support for the Planetary Party concept. Planetary Party gatherings are being designed to illuminate bioregional needs, track impact, celebrate culture, and invite participants to share their gifts. They’ll also invite donors into a peer ecosystem, where they can witness the direct impact of their contributions—such as infrastructure being built to grow food, house families, and regenerate land—and experience a more participatory, trust-based model of philanthropy that centers community leadership and on-the-ground wisdom. Learn more about our sponsor at https://www.kinshipearth.org/
🌀 Who Is This For?
This convergence is for:
People living in or building eco-communities, co-housing, or regenerative land projects
Educators, organizers, and practitioners wanting to share their knowledge
Artists, musicians, and healers who tend to culture, story, and spirit
Youth, elders, and families who believe in a more beautiful future—this is a space designed to honor the wisdom of all generations and support meaningful engagement across age and experience.
Funders, technologists, and solution builders supporting on-the-ground transformation
You, if you feel the call
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
