SUMMARY:Forests of the Northeast Intentional Communities Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Click here for tickets! \n\n\nForests of the Northeast Convergence\n\n\n\nThu\, Sep 10\, 8am – Sun\, Sep 13\, 9pm EDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvergence of Intentional Communities\, Bioregional Gathering\, and It Takes a Village Education and Music Fest\nSeptember 10–13\, 2026 · Sirius Intentional Community · Shutesbury\, Massachusetts \nHosted by Sirius Community in partnership with Permatours\, the Foundation for Intentional Community\, and the Convergence of Intentional Communities Planning Committee. \nCommunity\, Mutual Aid\, and Bioregional Resilience. A participant-powered\, four-day gathering to strengthen the relationships\, shared learning\, and collaboration needed to grow a regenerative Northeast bioregion. \nJoin land stewards\, intentional communities\, organizers\, artists\, educators\, healers\, builders\, funders\, and families as we connect across projects\, share resources\, and build the relationships that make regional resilience possible. \nWhether you’re already rooted in a community or land project\, or looking for your place in this growing movement\, you’re welcome here. \nFrom Community to Bioregion to Celebration\nEach day widens the circle. \nWe begin by strengthening relationships among intentional communities and land-based projects\, expand into collaboration with bioregional organizations and regenerative initiatives\, and conclude with a day of music\, art\, and celebration that honors the culture\, connections\, and collective future we’re building together. \n  \nConvergence of Intentional Communities (CIC)\nThursday\, September 10 & Friday\, September 11 \nStrong communities need strong regional networks. \nCreated by and for people living in intentional communities\, ecovillages\, cohousing neighborhoods\, living cooperatives\, religious communities\, and land-based projects\, the Convergence of Intentional Communities cultivates relationships\, shared learning\, and systems of mutual aid across the Northeast. \nWe’ll carry forward the spirit of previous CIC gatherings through community introductions\, needs-and-offers exchanges\, project presentations\, practical problem-solving\, and conversations about how we can better support one another across communities. Participants will have opportunities to learn about existing projects\, explore pathways into community living\, and build relationships that extend beyond the gathering itself. \nProgramming will be participant-driven and co-created\, with plenty of space for informal networking\, evening activities\, and meaningful connection. \n  \nBioregional Gathering\nSaturday\, September 12 \nOn Saturday\, the gathering expands to welcome bioregional organizing groups\, regenerative projects\, worker cooperatives\, mutual aid networks\, educational institutions\, land stewardship initiatives\, food sovereignty efforts\, solidarity economy projects\, restorative justice organizations\, Indigenous-led initiatives\, and other values-aligned partners from across the Northeast. \nThrough project showcases\, presentations\, workshops\, skill-shares\, and facilitated networking\, we’ll explore how communities and organizations can collaborate more effectively to strengthen regional resilience. \nThis day is designed to help participants discover shared goals\, exchange resources\, build strategic partnerships\, and support the growing ecosystem of regenerative work already taking root throughout the region. \nThe learning continues into the evening with opportunities for music\, social connection\, and celebration. \n\n\n\nIt Takes a Village: Education\, Music & Celebration\nSunday\, September 13 \nAfter three days of relationship-building\, learning\, and collaboration\, we close the weekend in celebration. \nIt Takes a Village brings together live music\, educational offerings\, local food vendors and artisans\, family and children’s programming\, healing arts\, and interactive experiences in a joyful gathering open to the wider community. \nThe day will also include dedicated unconference space\, creating opportunities for participants to host spontaneous workshops\, discussions\, skill-shares\, and conversations inspired by the relationships and ideas that emerged throughout the Convergence. Whether you’re sharing a project\, exploring a challenge\, or gathering collaborators around a new possibility\, the unconference offers a place for participant-led learning and connection. \nMore than a festival\, it’s a celebration of the relationships\, projects\, and possibilities cultivated throughout the Convergence—a chance to experience the culture of connection\, creativity\, and collective care that sustains this work for the long term. \n\n\nWhy Bioregional?\nA bioregion is defined not by political boundaries\, but by the living systems that connect a place—its watersheds\, forests\, soils\, and communities. \nWe gather in the Forests of the Northeast because regeneration is rooted in place. Lasting solutions emerge from strong local relationships and the communities that share a landscape. \nOur society doesn’t just need resilient communities—it needs resilient networks between them. \nThis Convergence is designed to strengthen those networks by helping communities\, projects\, and organizations share knowledge\, resources\, labor\, and support. More than a weekend gathering\, it’s an opportunity to build lasting relationships and systems of mutual aid that continue long after we return home. \n\nWhat to Expect\nBecause much of the event is co-created\, programming will continue to evolve. Topics may include: \n\nPermaculture Design & Food Sovereignty\nNatural Building & Ecological Infrastructure\nWater Systems & Renewable Energy\nGovernance & Conflict Transformation\nCommunity Land Trusts & Cooperative Models\nRestorative Economics & Regenerative Finance\nIndigenous Stewardship & Land Rematriation\nHerbalism\, Healing Arts & Somatic Practices\nFamily & Intergenerational Programming\nCommunication & Relational Skills\nMusic\, Art\, Storytelling & Cultural Celebration\n\nMapping Our Regional Network\nThroughout the gathering\, we’ll collaboratively map the people\, projects\, communities\, needs\, and resources present. \nBy making visible what we’re building\, what we’re seeking\, and what we’re able to offer\, we can identify opportunities for collaboration and strengthen the web of support across the region long after the event concludes. \n\nWho This Is For\n\nIntentional communities\, ecovillages\, cohousing neighborhoods\, cooperatives\, and stewards of regenerative land projects\nLand stewards\, farmers\, and ecological practitioners\nMutual aid organizers and community builders\nFood sovereignty\, restorative justice\, and solidarity economy initiatives\nEducators\, researchers\, and students\nArtists\, musicians\, storytellers\, and healers\nFunders\, technologists\, and solution-builders supporting community-led transformation\nYouth\, elders\, families\, and anyone seeking meaningful connection and a role in building a more regenerative future\n\n\nHelp Shape the Gathering\nWe’re inviting participants to co-create the event by: \n\nOffering a workshop\, training\, or discussion\nSharing music\, art\, or cultural offerings\nPresenting a project or initiative\nVolunteering behind the scenes\nSupporting childcare\, logistics\, or hospitality\nSimply showing up with curiosity and a willingness to connect\n\nTogether we’ll create a gathering that reflects the strengths\, needs\, and aspirations of our region. \n\nLogistics at a Glance\nTickets: Sliding-scale passes are available for the full 4 days\, or for individual sub-events: CIC (Thursday and Friday)\, Bioregional Gathering (Saturday)\, and It Takes a Village or Education and Music Fest (Sunday).
