15^th Annual Inland Northwest Permaculture Convergence
Theme: Roots and Culture
September 19–21, 2025 | Uhuru in Rice, Washington

The 15th Annual Inland Northwest Permaculture Convergence invites you to gather in community, ground your roots, and celebrate the intricate web of life that sustains us. This year’s theme, Roots and Culture, represents the marriage of ecological grounding and cultural flourishing—it’s about honoring where we come from, how we live together now, and what we’re cultivating for future generations.

Over three days, we’ll explore how restoring local ecosystems naturally restores our local economies and communities. We’ll share knowledge on natural building, renewable energy, water harvesting, regenerative agriculture, and community resilience—while also enjoying hands-on learning, storytelling, and celebration.

Living the Convergence:

Primitive and car camping spaces are available, with limited indoor shelter options. Water and electricity are on site, but limited—just enough to keep us connected while we live close to the land.

We will share meals together, weaving our flavors into the fabric of the weekend. Bring a pre-made dish or ingredients to prepare before the meal. And if you carry a skill, story, or teaching—bring it! We’ll make space for spontaneous sharing.
