July 3 – 4, 2026
The public event unfolds under the theme Regenerative Impulses, connecting our stories of bioregional aliveness, understood as the living forces that restore, reconnect, and renew life across ecological, social, cultural, and economic systems.
The public event welcomes a broad constellation of local and international participants into a vibrant exchange of practices, perspectives, and lived experiences.
Day 1: Learning Journeys and Grounding in Place
The first day is designed as a series of immersive learning journeys that fosters awareness and grounding in living community contexts, from Nairobi into the wider bioregion. These journeys highlight ecological stewardship, urban resilience, and historical and cultural memory through site-based experiences.
Learning will be woven through storytelling and participatory processes inspired by The Art of Hosting, inviting shared reflection and collective sense-making. Further details on sites and formats will be shared closer to the event.
Day 2: Regenerative Impulses in Practice
The second day creates space to explore Regenerative Impulses across four interconnected spheres: cultural, social, ecological, and economic. Through parallel workshops, dialogues, and thematic labs (some of which are offered by the Firekeepers), participants will engage with people and organisations who are actively working on, contributing towards, researching, studying, and practising regeneration.
Local initiatives, marginalised voices, and lived experience are centred throughout the day. Firekeepers will be present both as participants and contributors and will offer their perspectives and embodied knowledge, supporting intergenerational, cross-sector and cultural exchange. Participants are encouraged to share their areas of interest as the program continues to take shape.
