While preparing for this event, we realized that for many who would like to organize a local group, this task might seem complex and overwhelming.
So we created a guide, "How to gather a Deep Live Gathering local group?" In it, we described all the steps and activities. Link to document is in the first comment.
It's important to note that you don't need to have your own or friendly farm or eco-village to host a local group in your region. And you don't need to dedicate the entire nine days to it.
Practically any form of participation works. What matters is that within this process you have an opportunity to be in touch with living nature. This could be a city park, or even a living flower in a pot in a city apartment. It's also strongly recommended to join at least one shared Zoom call, to be part of the shared field. As a last resort, if attending any calls isn't possible, you can stay connected to the shared field through the Telegram chat or by email.
You can hold Deep Live Gathering in a city park, or even at home.
You can hold Deep Live Gathering alone, with your family, or with a group.
There are still 10 days until the event. You can decide to connect with this planetary field.
Don't be afraid! Even if you've never been a group leader, organizer, or facilitator before. Perhaps it's exactly your leadership that the world needs right now — the planet, people, all living beings. Mastery comes through doing. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you feel the call, don't let fear stand in your way. And you can always ask the Deep Live Gathering international team for help and support — both while preparing and during the event itself.
We invite you to the international event Deep Live Gathering. It will take place on September 19–27.
We are living at a moment of deep transformation.
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.
This is a "multi-local" event — meaning it happens simultaneously, in person, in different places around the planet, with part of the programme held as online synchronisations. Each local group can have its own programme, and we also invite everyone into some shared, synchronised programme elements.
So in this context, the invitation to the event carries an unexpected meaning: we are inviting you to make this event happen — that is, to organise a local in-person group in your own region — and to invite people to it. You can also join a group that already exists: at the moment there are groups in Montenegro and in America, and I know a group in Russia is preparing to join as well.
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...
We also invite you to share this post with anyone you feel should see this invitation — personally, publicly, in groups and communities.
