Summer Gathering

Summer Gathering Camp – Tāpora

Sunday 17th January @ 4:00 pm – Friday 22nd January lunch 2027

We come together as a circle of friends, playfully exploring and living NVC (nonviolent communication) consciousness.
We do this surrounded by nature for 6 days, opening our hearts to giving and to receiving.

Theme ‘Celebrating and playing with our differences ’ This will be our 10th camp and we will celebrate this.   We also want to embrace the fact that we are all different and how we can celebrate this and embrace connection across those differences.  All of this on Susie’s land where we can feel the ground underneath our feet, smelling and tasting delicious food, hearing laughter and excitement. The breeze, rain, sun on our skin and seeing all the natural beauty around us. This settling deep dive will automatically drop your nervous system into a more natural rhythm of ‘rest and digest’ with an intentional sprinkling of upregulated play. This way we have more space to drop into our interior world (interoception) and start to strengthen those pathways of connecting with ourselves but also those around you.

The intention of camp is towards a more nourishing and aware way of being in this world and we will create activities throughout the week to support our learning together. 

Arrive anytime on the 17th to settle in with an official opening at 4pm.

Costs of food and expenses are rising for all of us.  We know that for some coming to camp this year is a financial stretch – for others, manageable.

How do we as a community face this challenge?
