Changemakers! Fire up your relational imagination
Amid dissonance and division, gather as improvisers of possibility, ensemble players in care, and weavers of bridges toward a more generous world—an ecology of connection where human and more-than-human lives entwine in fragile, co-creative rhythms, reminding us that we belong to a living, breathing assemblage greater than ourselves.
Join us for a vibrant gathering across disciplines to deepen our connections and spark meaningful collaboration–re-imagining our personal, public, and political lives.
When & Where
February 27 & 28, 2026, New York City, USA
Who’s the Symposium For
We are intentionally stepping beyond the conventional naming of “who should attend” this symposium. To reimagine our lives requires generative, humanizing conversations, playing with language games that traverse boundaries—drawing upon the richness of lived experience, transcending the predefined disciplines or occupations. Join us if you are seeking to:
- make social transformation
- engage in the generative power of dialogue
- be in the making of justice
- make change that matters
- step into difficult conversations
- be in a transforming embodied experience
- make sense together
- communicate across differences
- be in relational play
About the event
This symposium invites us to reimagine our public and political lives through generative formats:
Catalytic Conversations are generative dialogues where thought leaders seed ideas, spark inquiry, and invite collective reflection on vital themes.
Food for Thought papers are short, provocative submissions that pose questions, share insights, or spark dialogue around key symposium themes.
Dialogic Reflections are breakout spaces for thematic conversation, inviting collective inquiry around pre-submitted “Food for Thought” provocations.
Embodied Self-Organizing Spaces are open, flexible sessions where participants initiate and host conversations, activities, or collaborations sparked by emerging themes or shared interests.
