Be with your people

Every year we gather with like-minded off-grid and simple living practitioners. Meet leaders in our community who share your concerns about AI, globalization, smart cities, surveillance, and digital currencies — people you can keep in touch with long after the event. Sick of hearing about being replaced by the next shiny tech? Want practical ways to protect your community and family guided by Christian principles? This event is for you. Attend focused presentations, hands-on workshops, live Q&A, expert panels, demos, and themed villages where you can learn and practice real solutions. Leave with actionable skills, trusted contacts, and project collaborators who share your values.
