Solarpunk Summit: The Love Dimension
OCTOBER 8-12, 2026 | KINGSBURY, TX
FIVE DAYS OF EXPLORING REGENERATIVE CULTURE, TECHNOLOGY, AND CONSCIOUSNESS
WHY WE GATHER
A more beautiful future has to become something we can experience. All around us, people are imagining and creating new possibilities for how we live.
They are developing technologies that challenge old assumptions. Restoring relationships with land. Experimenting with new ways of organizing communities and economies. Exploring consciousness, creativity, cooperation, and forms of connection that our current systems often leave out.
We gather to encounter these possibilities in the real world, with real people. Not as spectators — and not because someone has figured out the one right answer. We gather because the future becomes more interesting when we are willing to question what we've inherited, experience what is possible, and participate in what comes next.
Solarpunk Summit is a place to explore ideas that might otherwise remain abstract — to meet the people bringing them to life, try things for ourselves, and discover what resonates.
WE GROUND VISION IN REALITY
We illuminate possibilities, make them tangible, and trust each person to discover their own way. A vision becomes meaningful when we can step inside it. That’s what we come to Solarpunk to do. We bring ideas out of the abstract and into the real world — into conversations, workshops, shared meals, music, movement, technology, art, land, and relationships.
For five days, we create a temporary village where people can experience pieces of a different way of living together. Not as a simulation. Not as a finished model. As a living experiment.
This year, that experiment is The Love Dimension. We’re exploring what becomes possible when love is treated not simply as a feeling, but as something we build into the way we communicate, contribute, connect, give, and spend time together.
WHAT IS THE LOVE DIMENSION?
WHO ARE WE WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER?
We can build better technologies, create regenerative economies, decentralize power, restore ecosystems, and reimagine how we organize human life — but none of those systems exist independently of the people inside them.
The relationships are infrastructure too. And love, in this sense, is not sentimentality. It is the willingness to be fully ourselves while making room for others to be fully themselves too.
MORE VILLAGE THAN FESTIVAL
Solarpunk Summit exists somewhere between a gathering, a conference, a festival, a retreat, and a temporary village. None of those words quite captures it — but village comes closest. For five days, we live together.
There will be speakers, workshops, music, art, technology, food, and celebration — but those things aren't the center. The relationships are the center. The programming simply creates the conditions for genuine encounter.
FIVE ELEMENTS. FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES. ONE LIVING EXPERIMENT.
The Love Dimension unfolds through five elements — each carrying a different way of giving and receiving love. Air invites us to speak. Earth asks us to contribute. Fire calls us into connection. Water teaches us to give. Ether gives us the space to simply be together. Each day becomes an invitation to explore a different dimension of relationship — with ourselves, with one another, and with the world we're creating.
AIR
WORDS OF AFFIRMATIONSPEAK. LISTEN. SEE ONE ANOTHER. Air is language, thought, story, curiosity and communication. We begin by meeting one another through words — sharing what we see, what we know, what we wonder, and what we hope to create.
Through conversation, storytelling, authentic relating and personal exploration, we practice the simple but radical act of seeing and being seen.
EARTH
ACTS OF SERVICELOVE HAS HANDS. Earth brings us back to what is tangible: food, land, shelter, community, and stewardship. The practical work of making a place where life can flourish. Here, love becomes something we do.
Acts of service remind us that a thriving community isn't created by what we receive from it, but by what we're willing to contribute.
FIRE
PHYSICAL TOUCHCOME CLOSER. Fire is warmth, vitality, attraction, movement, celebration and embodied connection. Through dance, music, play, movement and conscious relating, we explore what happens when we allow ourselves to be fully present in our bodies — and fully present with one another.
Touch here isn't obligation. It is consent, awareness, boundaries, trust, and presence.
WATER
GIFTSWHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE? Water teaches us generosity. Not simply the exchange of things, but the joy of offering something of ourselves — our knowledge, our creativity, our resources, our attention, our art, our food, our ideas, our gifts.
We explore what happens when giving isn't transactional, but relational. We bring what we have. We receive what others bring. And something new begins to flow.
ETHER
QUALITY TIMENOTHING TO DO. NOWHERE TO BE. And then, on the fifth day, we let go. No packed schedule. No headliner. No one telling us what happens next. Just space — space to linger, wander, make breakfast with strangers, or start a conversation beneath a tree.
Ether is quality time without an agenda — an invitation to trust the community enough to let what wants to emerge, emerge. The distinction between attendee, artist, speaker, organizer and participant begins to disappear.
SOLARPUNK LINEUP
Visionaries, builders, artists, and facilitators gathering to co-create regenerative infrastructure and model what becomes possible together.

THREE PATHWAYS INTO THE FUTURE
There is no single discipline capable of answering the questions we're asking about the future. The technologies we develop shape our culture. Our culture shapes the systems we create. And the people we become determine, in large part, what we choose to do with all of it.
At the Summit, three broad pathways give us different ways into that conversation.
REGENERATIVE CULTURE
OUTER SYSTEMS
TECHNOLOGY
WHAT WE CREATE
CONSCIOUSNESS
INNER SYSTEMSWHAT TO EXPECT
The Summit brings together many different ways of learning, participating, creating, and connecting. You might spend the morning listening to a keynote that completely changes how you think about a familiar question, spend the afternoon getting your hands dirty in a workshop, wander through an art installation, meet someone building something you've been searching for, and end the evening dancing under the stars.
There is no single way to experience the Summit, and that's intentional. Some people come for the speakers. Some come for the technology. Some come for the music, art, or workshops. Some come because they're looking for collaborators. Others simply want to spend a few days surrounded by people who are curious about what comes next.
MUSIC, MOVEMENT & NIGHTS UNDER THE STARS
Music isn't just something that happens after the programming ends. It's part of how the village comes alive — through rhythm, movement, celebration, and the spontaneous moments that happen when people stop talking and start dancing.
THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO BE A SOLARPUNK.
You don't have to be a technologist, activist, entrepreneur, artist, farmer, philosopher, or expert in anything.
You might be building a company, growing food, raising a family, making art, exploring consciousness, developing new technology, stewarding land, searching for community, or simply wondering whether the future could look different than the one we've been handed.
You don't have to arrive with a project to pitch or a movement to lead. You can come to learn. To teach. To make something. To meet people. To dance. To ask better questions. To contribute what you have and discover what others are bringing.
A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
I get asked a lot, "what is the Solarpunk Summit? What's the point? Is this a conference? Is this a festival?" These are great questions.
The answer is that it's a bit more than either. The summit is an integration of the best parts of the conference and the festival experiences. At the Solarpunk Summit, you'll have an opportunity to engage in workshops, be inspired by speakers, share your voice, create a focus camp of your own, or join others. You'll also dance, sing, rest, and play in a safe, nurturing, and radically optimistic environment. We create an instance of what it can feel like for your whole family to live in a harmonious world.
MAKE THE VILLAGE YOUR HOME FOR FIVE DAYS.

A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE IS SOMETHING WE CAN CHOOSE TO CREATE.
Solarpunk is an invitation to imagine a future where technology, nature, community, and individual freedom aren't competing forces, but parts of a more integrated way of living.
CHOICE
We believe people should have the freedom to explore, question, experiment, and choose for themselves. We don't need a single prescribed path into the future.
CHOICE
We believe people should have the freedom to explore, question, experiment, and choose for themselves.
REGENERATION
We live within cycles of renewal. The systems we create should recognize that reality rather than working against it.
CONSCIOUSNESS
The future isn't only an external problem to solve. It is also an inner journey.
COMMUNITY
We value communities where people can belong without surrendering their individuality.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Solarpunk is my favorite festival. It strikes the right balance between envisioning the new earth with practice and connection...without ever getting lost in cynicism or spiritual bypass.

SolarPunk Summit is a must experience!! The safety and love I felt at SolarPunk is unlike any gathering I have participated in hands down. It was all about people. The depth of conversation and connection was wonderful for me. I am an intellectual who is deep into body processes and intimacy. I was met in all of my aspects at SolarPunk. The team was wonderful, attentive and present. GO THERE!!!

WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DO YOU WANT TO HELP CREATE?
You don't need to arrive with a plan, a project, or a perfectly formed vision of what's next. You just need to be curious enough to ask the question — and open enough to explore it with other people.
For five days, you'll have the chance to step outside the ordinary, encounter ideas that challenge you, meet people building things differently, and experience what becomes possible when we gather with intention.
IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN.
