But unlike those others, Solarpunk imagines a positive vision of a post-climate crisis future. It ESCAPES DENIALISM by acknowledging the great polycrisis facing the world today, but it also MOVES PAST DOOMERISUM by looking at this great unraveling not as the end, but as opportunity! We can move past our “business as usual” sleep walking, let the oppressive systems that do not serve us fall away, and collectively BUILD A JUST, VERDANT, AND EQUITABLE FUTURE WORLD where we’ve regenerated the Earth, reconnected with each other, have a healthy relationship with technology, and all people are free to find their soul’s calling. "What is the song of a community that seeks to live within its means and in harmony with nature? What is the highest vision we are capable of bringing forth? What is the most beautiful story we could write about humanity?" "Envision a world where we live in service to the planet and the well-being of our communities. Every person has a unique role. Each being has a gift and offering to the world that sustains and nourishes them with energy and resources to accomplish their mission. Imagine a world in which humans and nature are flourishing and thriving. In this vision, we live in a symbiotic alliance that honors and respects our relationship with nature and each other." - Day Sanchez We are not waiting for permission to create the world we deserve. We are making it, right now, together! Dancing and laughing and dreaming it into existence! // TIᑕKETS & ᗰOᖇE IᑎᖴO // https://tinyurl.com/8cz7d5dj - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/solarpunk-solstice-gathering-light/200029975211055 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, entertainment, performances, festivals, dance, fine-arts, nonprofit, summer-solstice, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 362 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Union Machine Works - **lat**: 37.79733 - **long**: -122.27774 - **full address**: Union Machine Works, 521 3rd St,Oakland, California, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Solarpunk Solstice - Gathering Light - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/3a6716efba87a93f3f6acf38692ba10799d5aa5d1016c4450b600e163fedd007-rimg-w1200-h640-dc2e5ec0-gmir?v=1781583416 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Solarpunk Solstice - Gathering Light being held? - **A:** Solarpunk Solstice - Gathering Light takes place on Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 pm at Union Machine Works, 521 3rd St,Oakland, California, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Solarpunk Solstice - Gathering Light? - **A:** Solarpunk Solstice - Gathering Light is organized by Airpusher Collective. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
