Gather With Intention
Beyond the endless scroll and the superficial networking event, many of us feel a quiet ache for something real. It’s a yearning for authentic community, for creative expression that engages the body, mind, and spirit, and for a tangible connection to the natural world.
brant plants curates intentional gatherings designed to heal our sense of disconnection, opening space to find new ways of living our shared humanity and revitalizing our whole selves.
Gatherings To Catalyze Social Engagement
The Community Gift is our blueprint for building resilient communities through collaborative creative expression. These gatherings are conceived as a gift that participants give to each other and to the broader world.
This experience is for you if: You are a leader, creative, activist, or innovator who believes that our most complex social challenges can be solved by small, dedicated groups co-creating in high-trust environments.
Our Methodology:
- The Seeds: Every engagement begins with a core question or creative spark, brought to life by a passionate group of initial 'Seeds' who serve as the starting point of the journey, grounding the work in authentic intention.
- The Cultivation: This is the nurtured space where we move beyond superficial networking to engage in the very activities that make us most human. We facilitate experiences centered on creative expression (such as collaborative storytelling, music-making, or physical improv), shared meaning-making (such as future-casting or curated dialoging), and intentional rituals (such as game play or shared meal preparation). This process fosters the high-trust environment necessary for true innovation to blossom.
- The Harvest: The fruitful culmination of our work is a tangible gift designed to create ripples of positive change. This "Harvest" can be a gift of knowledge, like an open-source playbook for other communities; a gift of inspiration, like a short documentary film or a collection of poems; or a gift of action, like the blueprint for a new social enterprise or a mentorship program for local leaders.
Gatherings to Catalyze Spiritual Renewal
Our Nature Retreats are conceived to provide personal restoration and spiritual revival. We design and host immersive retreats in breathtaking natural settings, far from the stresses of modern life, creating a space for a small group of travelers to embark on a journey of reflection, recovery, and inspiration.
This experience is for you if: you seek rest, rejuvenation, and a deeper connection to meaning and your own inner knowing. It is for those ready to disconnect from the noise of the everyday and reconnect with the peace within.
