The Natural Network is a collaboration between Kate Forrester of Four Acre Farm and Nick Whitnell of Daring Works.
Today, most of us spend the majority of our time indoors, under artificial light, glued to screens, trying to force ideas on demand. The result is well documented - burnout, exhaustion and a persistent sense of not doing 'enough'.
The Natural Network was created as a response to that. It is a series of gatherings aligned with the Wheel of the Year, an ancient cycle that has oriented humans for most of our history.
CEOs sit alongside entrepreneurs. Career pivoters share a table with people who have led organisations for decades.
This gathering is our Summer Solstice event. The Solstice is the peak of the sun's year - the longest day, the moment of maximum light, the crown of the seasonal cycle. Every culture that has ever paid attention to the natural world has marked it, usually with fire, feasting and communal celebration. It's not because something is about to happen but because something has already arrived.
