A Global Gathering for Transformative Change

This August, we gathered in Johannesburg to reimagine how transformation happens — bringing with us diverse disciplines, traditions, and ways of knowing. Over four days, the Wanderers Club was transformed into more than just a venue. It became a space where science, policy, art, and practice converged into one evolving conversation.

Some moments asked us to sit with discomfort and complexity. Others opened space for play, imagination, and care — all part of a gathering alive with creativity and connection, blending dialogue, workshops, and artistic expression throughout.
