In this very special time of uncertainty and transformation we invite you to participate in the Deep Live Gathering - a multi-local non-commercial event combining offline and online processes. In 19–27 September 2026 we've gathered in different bioregions around the globe in order to meet each other in physical, virtual and spiritual spaces.
In this very special time of uncertainty and transformation, we invite you to participate in the Deep Live Gathering - a multi-local non-commercial event combining offline and online processes.

Many of us are experiencing depression, burnout, and loss of meaning and direction. These are not merely individual problems, and no one should have to carry them alone. These symptoms are a call for transformation from the living planetary system, which flows through us — through our bodies, psyches, and Hearts; through our families, communities, and businesses. The environmental, social, and political crises unfolding on the planet are also not isolated problems requiring separate solutions. They are all part of a holistic process of deep transformation.
Our civilization, hoping to escape these symptoms, further isolates itself from nature with the concrete of cities, and from communities and ancestors – with individualism and virtuality. All this can’t but deepen the divisions that sever the living flow between past and future and widen the crisis. As response to that, we invite you to move toward a deeper connectedness with life.
Around the autumnal equinox, we invite you to a multi-local event dedicated to coming into deeper awareness of our planetary situation and reweaving relationships with nature, ourselves, ancestors, and future generations. We invite you to gather in your region to be together, share food, sincere words, ceremonies and practices.
We invite people who are not in denial about the situation, and ready to live and act together in the world as it is. We invited people of different professions and backgrounds – especially activists, artists, researchers, and protectors of ecosystems; alternative education practitioners; members of urban and rural communities and ecovillages; thinkers; philosophers and writers; social entrepreneurs; traditional knowledge holders; psychologists and psychotherapists; cultural workers; meditation practitioners; natural beekeepers; forest gardeners, seed savers and farmers practicing regenerative agriculture...
The Autumn Equinox. A time of balance between light and dark, summer and winter, future and past, ancestors and next generations. Carrying enough warmth, both around us and within us, to turn towards healing.
For a long time many of us have been living in virtual reality. Now it is time to reconnect to nature, and local communities. We connect to people, landscapes, plants, animals, and mushrooms around to feel us all as parts of the same story of interbeing and take care of each other. We gather as a community to create and maintain loving alternatives in times of trouble.
- Live group meetings will take place in different places on the Earth at the same time, and there will also happen online processes of connecting local groups into the common field.
- The Gathering is a joint action, defined by all participants as a living community of human beings.
- During the process, there will be no clear borders between organizers and participants.

The local gathering could last for the whole week, a few days, or just one day. Common online events will occur within the time window appropriate for Europe and Americas (Europe's evening = America's morning). Each group also has its own offline program; you define it yourselves. Each group can invite other groups to join a shared live process, which will take place simultaneously or at different times. Moreover, there are rooms in the common program for online processes you would like to share with other groups and individuals.
If the interactive map doesn't open, here is the map in .jpeg format.
However, no fees can be charged from participants for the international program of Deep Live Gathering, including ceremonies and online meetings, as well as for participation in live processes in the local group.
You can also support the Deep Live Gathering organizational international team.
