DISCONNECT TO CONNECT
International Students’ Conference
A conference dedicated to the theme of connection and technology, where we expect over 600 students between 16 and 20 years old from around the world. The students organizing it have chosen the title "Disconnect to Connect: The threads that hold us together." It will be an opportunity to learn and exchange ideas about the non-digital ways we are all connected, as well as we reflect on the positive and negative aspects that accompany the unfolding digital revolution.

An Inter-Generational Gathering in Cape Town, South Africa
hosted at Monkey Valley Resort in Chapman's Peak
April 1st - 5th 2026
“The intention of this gathering is to open a doorway through which star wisdom may enter our shared understanding. Our vision is to shape new agreements between human beings and the wellsprings of spiritual traditions, so that life may once again be imbued with meaning. In this work, South Africa may re-member its task of co-hosting the New Mysteries, restoring humanity’s trust for the future.”
With Orland Bishop, author of The Seventh Shrine, Joan Sleigh, Ezra Sullivan, Maaianne Knuth, Edgard Gouveia Jr and others.
