Join us at the Celebration Barn Theater in Paris for our seventh annual climate convergence! With the theme of "Resilient Roots, Joyful Shoots," we'll be holding space for those new to the movement as well as seasoned Convergence attendees during two days of inspiration, knowledge sharing, and power building. The theater will offer us beautiful indoor and outdoor options for whatever May's weather will hold, plus give us the pleasure of attending a performance of Alex Tatarsky's Dirt Trip on Friday evening. Programming will run 9am-5pm on Friday and Saturday. Keith Carson, of Maine Conservation Voters and formerly of News Center Maine, will deliver Friday's keynote. Rhiannon Hampson, of Gulf of Maine Research Institute, will deliver Saturday's keynote. Dinner and the performance will be 5:30-8pm on Friday -- please make sure to add on this ticket option if you're planning to stay.

Hallmarks of each convergence include workshops, roundtable discussions and presentations, as well as great food, music, art and poetry to energize the urgent work of climate justice. It is designed to be inclusive, interactive, and to celebrate and engage the collective wisdom of all who attend. 

Register now to join us in May. All are welcome.   

Each day's registration includes delicious, locally-sourced lunch. To reserve a cabin at the Celebration Barn, please visit their ticket page.

Dinner and the performance will be 5:30-8pm on Friday -- please make sure to add on this ticket option if you're planning to stay.

Friday night's show is Alex Tatarsky's Dirt Trip. If you would like to only attend Dirt Trip and not have dinner, please visit the Celebration Barn Theater's website for tickets.

Dirt Trip explores the fertile terrain between clowning and composting. Linking American pop-cultural angst over the evil clown to efforts to banish garbage and urban blight, Tatarsky examines our fears of figures and substances that suggest transitional, ambiguous, and disordered states. Contents include the ballad of an unemployed court jester who desires to be a rotting vegetable and a lecture that decays into a heap of dirt.

“Dirt Trip is a beautiful blend of tightly researched monologues and manic physical improvisation.” – Noa Weiss, The Brooklyn Rail

“Gross and essential” – Savannah Reich, Cannonball
