The Gathering is a collaboration of earth and water protectors, community groups, activists and individuals who come from all over the Island of Ireland to share their campaigns and inspire and support each other.
We organise a big get-together every year. In June 2024 this was at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace in Bellaghy.

We live in an Industrial Growth Society and as a result, we the citizens are co-creating in an effort to mitigate the current destruction and to abort future threats in their planning stages, while focusing on building the new structures that will transition us into a Life Sustaining Society.
