Planetary Dharma Convergence Gathering
A day to play, practice & be together
Join us for a nourishing daylong celebration bringing together converging communities: ICON Integral Conference attendees, Boulder metamodern friends, and Planetary Dharma students from around the world, to co-create a field of generative love, coherence, and creative expression.
For one day, we invite you to prototype with us what a soul-enfused culture could look like: deepening into our developmental edges, enjoying the warmth of each other’s hearts, breaking bread, making music, sharing our gifts, and practicing together in a generative field of goodness, truth, and beauty.
What to expect:
Talks and guided practices from John, Nicole, and the Planetary Dharma team. Open space breakout rooms where community members offer their gifts, music, massage, poetry, dialogue, WeSpace practices. A shared lunch to nourish body and connection. A live music performance by Little Whale with spoken-word transmissions from John. Opening and closing rituals to cohere the container.
This is a beautiful way to get to know the Planetary Dharma community, experience John and Nicole's teachings, and connect with a unique, cutting-edge cross-section of Integral and metamodern folks who share the mission of sacred village-building the world we know is possible.
Join us for this open, free day of play, practice and presence.
