What can you expect from this convergence?

Every time we look out into the world, we observe it through a certain lens. Based on our mindsets, our experiences, our backgrounds... These observations are unique to every person. In other words: each of us sees the world differently. When we are amongst like-minded people - say, a group of permaculture enthousiasts - these differences are probably still small. But when mixed up in our larger society, it sometimes feels as if we're worlds apart. Humans are culturaly diverse, as much as nature is biodiverse!

That's why we feel it's so important to converge around the topics that are close to our hearts. The word converge means "to tend or move toward one point or one another, or to come together and unite in a common interest". It is about finding common ground and supporting each other, in this case on our permaculture journeys.

The idea for this convergence is that each day, we will reflect on our observations and experiences through a different lens. To familiarize ourselves a little in advance, let's briefly look through these lenses one by one.
