What can happen when 200 people converge for three days to relax, feast and talk about the things that matter most to us? Friendships are deepened. Memories are made. Imaginations are awakened. Hope and a sense of solidarity are rediscovered. New projects and collaborations get instigated.
The Emergent Village Gathering is a 10 year-long annual event for the Emergent Village community near Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is one of the events sponsored by Emergent Village that best embodies our commitment to generative friendship. The Emergent Gathering is a participatory “happening,” where we conspire and collaborate together to create hospitality, conversations and common action. An advanced planning team sets up basic logistics like housing, food, and a daily rhythm. But beyond this participants are invited to host conversations and activities each day.
There is no cost to register or attend, but we do require that you register your attendance for our planning purposes.
Restaurant and food options are available in Santa Fe but If you’d like to be a part of the collaborative cooking, you can add the $60 Fresh Food Fest cost to your registration.
3 types of housing are available and you will also be asked to indicate your housing preference. Here are the options:
1.There are approximately twenty spots in each of two communal houses, with single beds in a shared rooms at the cost of $25 per night. If you select this option, someone from Emergent Village will be in contact with you with details and payment options.
2.There are hotel rooms on the Glorieta campus. If you choose this option someone from Emergent Village will be in contact with you about when the rooms are available for you to reservation directly with Glorieta Conference Center.
3.There are campsites and RV hook-ups on the Glorieta campus. If you choose this option, you are responsible to make your reservation directly with Glorieta.

Talking is one of the rhythms that helps us discover what it means to seek the kingdom of God in the times and places where we live. We like to say that the Emergent Gathering is a “for-us-by-us” advanced conversation where we learn from one another. We especially welcome voices from vocations that are not primarily “pastoral” or academic to encourage cross-pollination among life disciplines.
Emergent Gathering is the intensive experience of community that is facilitated by sharing life together over 48 hours. The relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings allow us to have integrative encounters: hearing each other’s stories while preparing a meal; hiking or gallery-hopping while talking about issues of faith, ecology or spiritual leadership; discussing theology or the new sciences while sitting in the sun down by a lake; Learning and practicing healthful life skills like yoga, meditative prayer, cooking, poetry and song writing, textile design or how to taste the nuances of coffees from around the world.
If you have been around emergent village and the emerging church conversation for awhile and are looking for a way to become more relationally connected, the Emergent Gathering is a great place to transition from observer to participant. It is also a good space to meet and talk with people face-to-face that you may know through books or blogs. Consider joining us this October.
This year the Emergent Gathering is October 5-7 at Glorietta Conference Center near Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Gathering will begin on Wednesday afternoon at 1 P.M. and conclude on Friday before three. The cost for this event is free, but if you would like to be included in the made fresh food fest the cost is $60, which includes all meals and organizing expenses. Housing is a two step process, the first step will take place in the the registration process at EmergentVillage.com/gathering
We hope to see you in Santa Fe this October!!!
