Every year at the time of Spring Equinox, when the day (the masculine) and night (the feminine) are in balance, the Joining Gathering is held to honour these living energies.

A respectful balance between the masculine and feminine within and between us all, is the necessary foundation upon which we can build a more sustainable and nurturing culture.

The Joining honours the value of both masculine and feminine qualities.

In this beautiful and respectful space facilitated by The Joining, we see that the apparent separation between the genders is merely an illusion.

All workshops available during the gathering are for this aim. This understanding of each other can positively affect the relationship with ourselves, our loved ones and our culture, building healthy, harmonious, productive community. That, in essence, is the intention of the Joining.

This 3 day gathering also invites people to participate in a wide variety of activities such as Dance, Ceremony, Aikido, Yoga, Meditation, Song, and good healthy fun which fosters nurturing and positive connection.

The Joining 2010 committee are keen to point out that this event is not a singles club (or hippiefest), “We welcome all men and women, from all walks of life, whether single, in relationship or just curious about how to build a better future for our families and culture. The event is not affiliated with any religious group, political view or stereotype of how people should or should not be”.
