Online retreat: Nova Scotia (also in person)
Imagine
 Cynthia Bourgeaut, Bayo Akomolafe, Fanny Brewster & Ilia Delio 16th-20th September, 2026
An invitation to pause together—to listen more deeply to the Earth, to wisdom traditions, to science, to poetry, and to one another.For five days we gather on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia to explore how science, spirit, and human creativity might come together in service of a more compassionate and life-giving future. This is not simply a conference. It is a conversation about what it means to be human in this moment of history—and how we might imagine the world that wants to emerge.
Cost: $700 USD

Nothing to Fear About Being Free
with 5 talks from Laurence Freeman
