A festival is filled with spontaneous moments, a magical atmosphere and the celebration of music, arts and embodiment. A conference is about high quality knowledge sharing and networking. A retreat is about nature connection, learning and personal transformation, which creates a deeper level of connection and intimacy within a group. Together we will be weaving all these elements into an 'enchanting' community building experience.
Over many decades and centuries we have elevated the rational and intellectual above all other types of knowledge, whilst also teaching that we should mistrust the evidence of our physical senses. In doing so, we lost that sense of wonder, awe and belonging to the Earth that we felt when we were children. What if we could dedicate a week each year to bring a bit more enchantment into our lives? To remind ourselves of the beauty, magic and meaning that exists all around us.
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift."
- Albert Einstein
Our Schedule
We have taken onboard feedback from last year and added an extra day as well as longer sessions with more focus on building a single co-created programme which we all experience together. We are crafting a programme that allows time for stillness, spaciousness, childlike wonder, embodiment, nature connection, dialogue around personal challenges, creative expression as well as collective visioning and storytelling.
To be 'enchanted' is to experience a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. The enchanted life is one which is intuitive, embraces wonder and fully engages the creative imagination - but is also deeply embodied, ecological, grounded in place and community.

What creates the magic of any event is the mix of people who choose to attend. We would like to first invite you to share your story and tells us why your would like to participate in our gathering. We are intending to curate a balanced group of participants with a variety of interests, skills, and backgrounds that are united in creating regenerative solutions for ourselves and our planet.
Enchanted felt deeply nourishing, hopeful and inspiring. It is great to see so many pioneers concretely showing what it means to live and work regeneratively.

Enchanted was a magical place that had the world start to make more sense to me, meeting other people with such like minded work or mindsets .. and setting a platform for me to have more conviction into my work and life in the regenerative field.

An experience of deep time where slowness and spaciousness teach you what regenerative really means.

At the Enchanted Gathering 2023 we came together in the name of regeneration to share knowledge and ideas and to connect with other changemakers around the globe. It as a really well facilitated gathering. The organisers managed to bring together an open-minded community with strong shared values. Leaving me motivated to follow my path and curious about all the new things I learned and was able to experience about Community Building, Deep Democracy, Embodies Relating, Circular Economy, Coliving & finding home, Trauma Work, Music and so much more... Looking forward to the next year!

2023 Showreel
Enchanted is a co-created experience that engages body, spirit and mind.
Where are we gathering?
Enchanted will be hosted at Selgars Estate in Devon. We have agreed a two year lease and option to buy with the owner, which means that the ideas that we explore together during this event can grow into real projects and experiments. We can come back again and again to host retreats and celebrations, grow our own food and maybe even build our own homes and live here permanently as a community one day.
​
Enchanted is more than just an event - it is an invitation to envision what Selgars could become and how we can build a wider mycelium network of regenerative places and projects together. We are building a village and this is your chance to be part of its inception.

Enchanted will embody and honour the values set out by Regens Unite
We (re)connect
As humans, we are a part of nature. We are connected with our environment, with our bodies and with each other. We are aware of the environmental impact of our actions and act consciously.
We all contribute
Participants and organisers are all considered equal members and contributors to the event and the Regens Unite commons. All voices are equally important in the conversation and we share responsibility to hold a regenerative space.
We regen
We leave the event feeling rejuvenated and we leave the venue and location in a better state after being there. We support local producers, source what we need from the local economy, and ensure that we utilize the budget with a focus on minimalism and usefulness.
We embrace diversity
We invite people from a wide variety of regen backgrounds. We make the event accessible for everyone to come, including locals, parents and people who need to travel and take time off to participate. The attendee list and schedule are curated to ensure balance, diversity, and space for underrepresented voices.
We cross-pollinate
The focus of this event is to bring humans from various regenerative backgrounds & perspectives together for intimate, thought-provoking exchanges as well as rejuvenating experiences. We create a safe and curious atmosphere through nurturing the relational fabric and community-wide rituals. From this connection, we can bravely explore new ways to regenerate and meet each other beyond labels and biases.
Partners
We are bringing together organisations from different industries to explore what it means to be regenerative and how together we can build a more regenerative future.
