Last year the Convergence in Hopland CA had an outstanding attendance of 800+ folks. This event has grown to become one of the largest Permaculture gatherings in the world. You wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity to be there this year as we continue to uplevel! The world is in greater need than ever right now of the kinds of solutions and community building tools that you offer, and that we strive to propagate and build through this Convergence.
The goal of the Convergence: to design, build, and strengthen sustainable communities and habitats, in accordance with nature, for humans, plants, animals, the greater bioregion, and the Earth at large. The theme for this years’ convergence is “Cultivating Unity in a Divided World”.
This year we are turning it up a notch…and are expecting to grow our numbers again from last year. It’s going to be another amazing gathering of sustainability enthusiasts, permaculture designers, social entrepreneurs, community organizers, social justice activists, musicians, artists, and people inspired to make a difference coming together to celebrate and share best practices, tools, and technologies to strengthen our shared goals and the movement at large.
