Events & Engagement

Events have always been part of the fabric of Synchronicity Earth. This is because we know that impact does not just come from our programmatic work, but by creating space for relationships – places to be curious, to listen, and learn.

On this page, you can explore current and upcoming events, view past events, and learn more about what we do and why we do it.

Our events and engagement

Conversations that matter

Our ambition to convene across sectors – and where conservation, philanthropy, and culture meet – is driven by the knowledge that connecting the right people can foster real change, and the ‘in-between’ conversations are often the most important ones.

As well as increasing effective conservation funding, our events seek to shift how funders think and act, and amplify the voices of our partners and the overlooked regions, ecosystems, and species they are working to protect.

We will continue to explore curating gatherings which we hope reach people in ways that facts and data alone cannot, and leave our guests remembering meetings that had a little synchronicity to them.

A world full of stories

We are born into a world full of stories. Stories are what guide us, inspire us, bring ideas, joy and resolution. The science of biodiversity loss and climate breakdown is clear, but stories are the bridge that connects knowledge with empathy, and leads to action. There are many inspiring stories and brilliant storytellers out there: passionate, dedicated and wise voices that need to be heard.

To create more impactful stories that transform awareness into action, we partner with filmmakers, artists, writers, thinkers and media organisations, convene discussions and develop projects and collaborations to re-establish nature at the heart of our cultural conversation, and show what can be done when we work together.
