The Nectary is an experimental community gathering happening in Victoria, BC from August 15 to September 4. It’s a pop-up monastery, think tank, folk school, and dinner party — all freely offered as a gift.

Deep relational practice

We are leading-edge facilitators of Circling, Collective Presencing, Continuum movement, men’s work, and more. In evening and weekend deep dives, we’ll offer practices we’ve found helpful in becoming the adults our culture needs.

Artisanal intelligence

As artists, meditators, writers, and builders, we’ll offer pop-up salons and spaces for beauty throughout the month. There’s never been a more important time to practice the art of attention and strengthen our capacity for creativity.

Radical giving + receiving

The Nectary is an experiment in working with money in a way that’s less harmful to our ecology and our souls. We invite you to join us in strengthening our “interdependence muscle” by giving and receiving gifts — freely.

“A group of wise people, tethered through intimacy, is the most powerful problem-solving system in the universe.”

“New human potentials only manifest in the context of new forms of relationship. Can we place our individual love stories within the larger love story of the universe itself?”
