About the Imagine Convergence
https://imagineconvergence.com/
“Imaginal Cells” are the biological building blocks that transform a caterpillar into a butterfly. As the previous system undergoes metamorphosis in its chrysalis, a radically new blueprint emerges to create something more than the sum of its previous parts. We live in an era much like this. As human society undergoes its own metamorphosis, we get to play an integral part in how things unfold.
Creative breakthroughs in science and culture are waking us up to the wonder of life on Earth, the absolute magic of the Cosmos, and the fathoms of awareness within. We have the opportunity now to share this with each other and the world, living into new & ancient ways of being that transcend all previously-held social constructs.
The Imagine Convergence is a container to experiment with exactly this. We’re gathering at a place off the map, during a time out of time, with like-hearted-minds to explore (r)evolutionary concepts and ways of being. Our intention is to leave the Convergence feeling more connected, more healthy, more hopeful, and better resourced to continue engaging the most important issues of our time.

Inaugural Themes
Each Convergence will focus on several themes pertinent to the times. Our inaugural year will be more expansive in focus, featuring authors, scientists, artists and activists presenting on:
The Environment
Degradation of the environment, climate change, loss of species… we know it’s happening and how bad it is. Let’s focus on solutions. The Convergence is a place to learn about people and ideas making a difference right now. Technological innovation, holistic economics and ecological worldviews are changing the face of the world as we know it. How do we engage with all that’s emerging?
Mindfulness, Connection & Consciousness
Our thoughts and feelings are the seeds of reality, and all of our actions begin first as a dream. The quality of our inner world determines our individual fates and the fate of society at large. Join us as we explore the many layers of consciousness, and some of the latest research in the fields of human relationships, class and gender equity, addictions, psychology, connection and mindfulness.
Art, Music & Culture
Imagination is one of the core characteristics of being human. The ability to envision and actualize large scale visions is a trait unique to our species. It’s what built our civilization, what brings us to the stars. Throughout history art and music have been creative forces in the evolution of culture. They are mediums that allow us to connect with each other in a profound way. How can we more effectively evolve modern day culture through expressing artistic visions with one another?
