About.
Join leaders in the regenerative communities movement for a unique 3-day retreat at the stunning Arcosanti urban laboratory in Arizona. Following the Arcosanti Convergence, this gathering is designed for organizations working at the intersection of sustainability and community. A series of Open Space sessions will guide us into project-focused working groups. Individuals, communities, and organizations wishing to become partners in GENNA Alliance are encouraged to attend. Together we can synergize our efforts for a thriving network!
