Deadline for Submissions: Monday 28th April 

​

We live in fragile and changing times, with social, ecological and economic pressures requiring us to re-think the way that we live. We see intentional communities as spaces that allow us to imagine and live into different worlds, based on relationship and collective wellbeing. We want our gathering this year to be a space to dream and support one another to share ideas of how we can be more resilient together. We want to explore how we do this within community, and also what skills and experiences we are developing that we can offer to the world around us. So come and join the party to explore solutions for today's challenges through the power of community!

 

From 11-13 July 2025 we will be meeting at Canon Frome Court in Herefordshire for a catered camping weekend with workshops, discussions and celebration. This well-established community is set within 40 acres of beautiful farm land and based on principles of organic food-production and self-sufficiency.

 

We welcome you to join the conversation, be it seeding new communities or the collective power of existing communities. Come share, listen, and explore how we can support one another through collective action. 

 

We're looking for ideas and offers to develop a weekend of workshops, panels and fun as part of the Communities Conference initiative. If you would like to offer something that ties into our theme then please fill out this form by the end of April. We will review the offers and decide on the programme in May. Workshop leaders and speakers will be offered a discounted ticket and meals during the event.

 

We are particularly interested in contributions to support groups looking to start their own communities, together with workshops on issues such as affordable housing, access to land, community resilience, local food systems and collective action on equality and ecology. We are also keen to broaden the cultural content of the conference, including the creation of a scratch band on the Saturday night of fun.

 

We are creating a multi generational celebration. Families with children and people of all ages are welcome to join this exploration of community. There will be playful and inclusive activities suitable for all. Please let us know if you’d like to contribute here too.

 

This event is the 4th annual UK Communities Conference. In previous years we have explored skills and creativity in intentional community. Recordings of some of the sessions are available in our archive.
