We warmly invite you to join us Saturday 7th - Sunday 8th June 2025 for Re:Assemble, a weekend gathering which, for the first time, brings together peers from across our learning journeys and ecosystems who are working towards regenerative futures at the neighbourhood scale in different ways.

The gathering will be hosted at the Centre For Alternative Technology (CAT) in Machynlleth, Wales, and will comprise a curated programme of talks and workshops, practical making activities and peer-led, self-organised sessions.

We’re so looking forward to gathering to (re)connect, exchange and build together at this time - and we sincerely hope you can join us. Read on for more information and to register.

We ask that you please do so by Friday 13th December 2024.

About

How can we stay together as more pressure is put on us? Who can we be together under pressure, other than who we have been?”

— Farzana Khan, Healing Justice Ldn

We live and breathe at a time of increasingly acute crisis. We don’t know when conditions of widespread emergency may become a reality on these islands; for many of us (the big us) across the world, they are already here. In this context, we know that our strength, as well as our best chance for real transformation, lies in coming together: in building our networks and ecosystems for collaboration, the sharing of resources, ideas and practice, and mutual support.

It is with this intention that we are inviting our network of peers - practitioners, organisers and thinkers working towards regenerative futures at the neighbourhood scale - to gather over a weekend in June, to share learning and practice, and make and deepen connections, building our collective resilience and capacity for the futures to come.

This gathering brings together, for the first time, the alumni of the four peer learning learning journeys we have hosted over the past three years: Doughnut Economics, Ecological Health in Neighbourhoods, Material Matter[s] and Re:Builders, as the next step to establishing and nourishing this ecosystem. In addition, the gathering will broaden this network of learning by welcoming peers from across our retrofit street demonstrator and reading groups of Doughnut Economics and Braiding Sweetgrass.

“Peer groups have the potential to help people scale the steep learning curves that stand between us and the future. Peer groups can unlock potential that individuals can’t unlock alone.”

—Huddlecraft

All of these journeys have shown us the magic that can occur when spaces are peer-led, and, inspired by this, the weekend will hold plenty of space for self-organised workshops and micro-talks, alongside a curated programme of talks and practical making activities together.

We invite you to begin to think about ideas for conversations or sessions you would like to host or co-host, and we will be in touch with a more specific invitation to share your ideas in Spring 2025.
