About the Connectathon:
The Connectathon is a biannual “24 HR for Humanity” gathering connected to the Equinox where people of good will and curious minds from all over the world meet to connect and speak about the future we want to live into.
- We gather and hold space for 24 hours to connect with ourselves, with each other, with our past and with the world.
- We explore who we are, where we are and, above all, start creating the story of who we want to be and where we want to go as a species and a civilisation.
- We take the insights and the new connections we make and create plans of action between here and the next gathering.
