Campout is a grassroots, family-friendly gathering focused on personal awakening and systems change.
We come together in a beautiful outdoor setting to share and make a collective experience. Through compassion, shared values and vision, we connect as a community to come together in celebration.
We inquire how a new counterculture can emerge as we explore community building, decentralisation, healthy living, nature connection, personal empowerment and political transformation.
Campout offers a rare opportunity to put your phone away and immerse yourself in nature — to share ideas and explore new models for living in a rapidly changing world. Four days of talks, workshops, music, wellbeing activities and conversations around the campfire.
Together, we are evolving a new model for grassroots change, actively facilitating global and local change through human kindness, connectivity, playfulness and trust. Let's gather around the fire and light up the world together.
Set against the backdrop of a divided and rapidly changing world, Campout offers the chance to break free from the noise and ask the bigger questions. What sort of world will we pass on to future generations? How do we become good ancestors? How do we relearn the art of good conversation, develop consensus and non-violent communication — and stay curious about one another?
The Campfire Convention community is an ad-free, algorithm-free, member-led conscious social network working for social change that puts people and the planet at its heart. We have a vision to join the dots between existing communities working for conscious transformation. We're online and offline.
It's a move from ‘what can I get out of this?’ to ‘how can I be in service to the wellbeing of the planet? What can we build together? How can we facilitate change?’ Join the network →
