The radical convergence in Stirling is happening now!
the following message is from the very nice convergence space crew:
We will be sharing the space with People and Planet, who will be hosting a student activist village and we are working alongside them to provide a safe and lovely space for all to enjoy. Below is an invitation to the HoriZone please circulate as widely as possible, to all lists your on and even the ones your not
Hori-zone
A zone of self-organisation, horizontal decision-making,
ecology and autonomy in action.
This is an invitation to a radical convergence in rejection of the G8 summit.
This one of the many projects of the Dissent! network.
While the G8 leaders hold their summit, hidden away in a golf course hotel, a fortress protected by barbed wire and patrolled by thousands of police, we will be presenting real alternative ways of organizing in an open and participatory way, inviting all to take hold of their own lives and take a part in the creation of their own futures.
Convergence 2005 invites all those interested in exploring radical non-hierarchical decision-making and autonomy in action to come to an eco village, camping and convergence site near Stirling, Scotland. The Hori-Zone will be a space for meeting, planning, for conspiring, for practicing horizontal organizing and consensus decision-making. A place to experience sustainable systems that do not bleed our planet dry. A place for building the foundations of the world we know is possible.
The zone is open to all those who wish to see a world free from the shackles of power and who wish to start laying the foundations of a peaceful, just and ecologically sustainable society in the here and now.
The site will operate on a ‘neighbourhood’ system, with people living eating and meeting together. Each neighbourhood will strive for self-sufficiency, in both political and practical terms, but will also contribute to the running and well-being of the entire site. All neighbourhoods will form part of the whole eco-village.
Come, and share your music, your art, your skils, your joy
Bring a tent and sleeping bag (and a sleeping mat if you can), good shoes, map, warm clothes, waterproofs and suntan lotion – you never know!
Hori-Zone will be a place where we eat, sleep, dream, live, love and enact our resistance.

We still need loads of help. Things are going along swimmingly with the neighbourhoods but we need a more people for set up and build site wide stuff we still need more tatting to be done – we specially need loads more timber and buckets, tools would also be handy. We really need more alt tech as well. If all neighbourhoods could contact to say what they are bringing structure wise it would be splendid.
The clanger (there’s always a clanger) is the TAKE DOWN.
Our contract states that we must be off the site by Tuesday the 13th at 9am. We have already negotiated for an extra day (they originally gave us two days) and they have contractors arriving the next day to start making a cricket pitch. Obviously this is a bit tricky and will need all hands on deck, so everyone who can possibly stay to help, please do! There will be a big ol’ party somewhere after the hard work.
In solidarity
The convergence crew
