What's Next?
This is only the beginning.
We’re already at work planning the 2026 Animal-Based Gathering. We’re especially excited to implement many of the valuable insights and feedback we received from this year’s event to make the next experience even more meaningful and impactful.
But that's not all...
In the coming months, we’ll be introducing something very special, a way to bring the spirit of the Animal-Based Gathering directly into your local communities.
Our goal is simple:
To help you build your own tribe — closer to home.
We know how powerful it is to connect face-to-face with people who share your values around health, nutrition, and regenerative living. Soon, we’ll be launching a new initiative designed to:
- Foster local meetups with like-minded individuals living the animal-based lifestyle
- Create real-world opportunities to build lasting friendships and support networks
- Share resources, tools, and guidance to help you grow your “village” and strengthen your community connections
- Empower leaders and members to build vibrant, supportive local groups that reflect the energy and values of the larger Animal-Based Movement
Community fuels the journey — and it doesn't have to wait until the next big event.
