Chance to cross-pollinate knowledge among fellow South Australians
The South Australian Permaculture Convergence 2026 is a collaborative skill-sharing gathering designed around shared learning, connection and time in nature.
Bring your experience, curiosity and ideas to contribute to hands-on sessions, thoughtful conversations and collective learning
Whether you have something to share or are simply eager to learn from others, it will be an incredible opportunity to connect and grow practical permaculture skills while hanging out in the beautiful bushland of Douglas Scrub.
With two big days of skill-sharing, three nights of accommodation and all meals included in your ticket, this event will be a time to unwind, connect, learn and play.

What to expect
Two days of participant-led skill sharing, talks, discussions and practical sessions
A free-flowing schedule that is created by attendees on arrival
Time and space to walk, rest, talk, reflect and play
Simple vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner each day
Chance to stay on site for three nights, or enter the convergence site each day
There is no pressure to attend everything or contribute to a presentation. You’re free to move through the weekend in a way that suits your energy and interests.
How this convergence is different
Feedback from our 2023 and 2024 convergences showed that people valued connection just as much as the skills and learning. In response, we’re moving away from a tightly structured conference format and trying something slower, more open and community-led.
No fixed program, keynote speakers or stages
Sessions are proposed and hosted by participants
No microphones, slides or formal presentations
Everyone will be asked to contribute to the weekend in small, shared ways (such as a shift helping wash up dishes)
The focus is on collaboration, local knowledge, conversation and community ownership. You don’t need to be an expert, a confident speaker or a long-time permaculture practitioner to attend.
More information coming soon!
Our volunteer crew is working hard behind the scenes to bring this non-profit convergence to you.
