The World Ethic Forum, in close collaboration with Nile Journeys, is delighted to announce its next in-person, multi-day gathering, taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, from June 27 to July 4, 2026.
This inspiring collaboration weaves the World Ethic Forum’s global community of firekeepers with Nile Journeys’ long-standing work across the Nile Bioregion, where ecological regeneration, cultural renewal, and community-led leadership are practised in daily life, honouring the diverse contexts. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to grounding global conversations and learning in local realities and their respective applications. A commitment to aligning, cross-pollinating and supporting across.
Over seven days, the gathering brings together bioregional stewards, practitioners, artists, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world to deepen the inquiry of our radically shared aliveness, strengthen relationships across difference, and cultivate shared capacities for care, agency, and planetary stewardship. The convening unfolds through two interconnected phases: the Firekeeper Circle Gathering and a public event open to wider participation.
These gatherings create space for deep listening, dialogue, connection, and shared sense-making, rooted in lived experience, diverse cultural wisdoms, and place-based practice.
