Excerpt from the homepage:
This year, we come together under the theme: ‘Gathering in the Motherland: Celebrating Lifeways, Ways of Water & Reconnecting to the Source.’ Our theme speaks to the enduring power of connection, no matter how far we’ve traveled or how much time has passed. Like water, which flows freely yet is shaped by its journey, we too are shaped by our roots and the communities we belong to.
This gathering is more than a conference—it is a homecoming. A chance to reconnect, to share, and to celebrate the richness of our collective lifeways. It is a sanctuary where ideas flow, traditions are honored, and the essence of our shared humanity is embraced. Here, you’ll find not just knowledge, but a sense of belonging. As you participate, we hope you feel the warmth of home—a place where connections are nurtured and new possibilities begin. When you leave, it won’t just be with new insights or perspectives; it will be with a piece of home carried within you.
