The Gathering

Everything is connected to everything else, now and forever. How do we make sense of this?

We learn to understand the cosmological pattern and then we use this to design, reinterpret the physical space, and re-imagine and reconstruct for a sustainable way of living in all of our places.

To do this we experiment with connectivity through the lens of time, space and movement - physical and conceptual properties of the universe of which we are a part.

We explore alignments, we encounter surprise and delight in the joy and possibility of emergence.

We learn to live, to see, to experience, to love, to cope, to enhance well-being and restore balance across all aspects of our lives. We learn to find our way, listening to and guided by the cosmological dimensions unfolding across the dance of time, through the mentoring of nature.

We learn to hear what nature is telling us and that we are part of nature, every action, every choice, every design, every solution we ever conceive either works with, or against nature.

Where will we be?

We will all be camping together in our makeshift village in the lovely grounds at Château de Millemont.
Millemont Yvelines, 78940, France
