UTSPRING GATHERING 2026
Date: July 1-5
Location: Nord-Odal, Norway
Capacity: 100 people
The gathering begins before you arrive. In the weeks leading up, co-creators come to the farm to build. structures, stages, art installations, a kitchen, gathering spaces. By the time the main gathering starts, the place is alive in the midst of co-creation.
Over four days, the programme moves between building, curated sessions and open space. Morning might be a guided practice or meditation. Afternoon could be a workshop someone brought, a swim in the lake, deep conversations in the sauna, or building something together. Evenings are fire, music, dance, ceremony.
What Happens Here
Some of what happens is planned. Much of it emerges. Someone brings a sound healing. Someone else leads a movement practice they’ve been developing. A conversation by the fire becomes the most important moment of someone’s week. A load of wood needs carrying — and that becomes practice too.
There’s no stage-and-audience divide. You’re not here to watch. You’re here to discover what happens when you participate fully — in the programme, in the community, in yourself.

Co-Create with us
The richest experiences come from those who give as well as receive. Come early, help build, and you’ll arrive at the gathering already connected — to the land, to each other, and to what’s emerging.
Got something you want to share? A workshop, a practice, a performance, a skill? Get in touch and we’ll find your place in the programme.
Co-creators arrive from mid-June. You get a prime camping spot, access to the shared kitchen, shared meals during build, and a deeper experience of what Utspring really is.
What grows beyond the gathering
The connections made here don’t end at the lakeside. They become a living network. Something that keeps nourishing and expanding long after you go home. People find collaborators, friends, creative partners. Conversations started by the fire continue for months. Last year’s gathering planted seeds that are still growing.
