In these times of deepening darkness we choose another path. Join us at our second annual Solarpunk Solstice as we imagine the most wildly beautiful futures for our planet and all our people. A future in which oppressive systems have been replaced by those that restore, where regeneration is living practice, and where every person is free to show up whole and be seen. We are not waiting for permission to create the world we deserve. We are making it, right now, together! Dancing and laughing and dreaming it into existence!We have the honor of bringing this Solarpunk vision to Oakland this year, a city that has long known how to hold both joy and struggle, celebration and resistance. Gathering Light is our theme — and we mean it literally and spiritually. Like a solar garden drinking in the sun, like a majestic tree reaching toward the sky, like a lantern found in the dark of night: we join together to collect, amplify, and bring The Light back into the world with us. Each one of us carries a spark. Each one of us is a prism. We collectively illuminate the future — a living, breathing, dancing, loving vision of the united and liberated world we dare to dream!
This event is a fundraiser for Airpusher Collective, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to building the world we deserve. Your participation directly supports our mission and the communities, artists, and organizers who make this work possible.
