Portal Gathering brings together the community you’ve been searching for — people who see through the smoke and mirrors, who question imposed narratives, and who are ready to live in sovereignty. These are freedom‑seekers, truth‑tellers, researchers, and creators of solutions for real problems.
Set in Tepoztlán, surrounded by the sacred Tepoz mountains, our gathering space offers a pocket of calm right in town. You can walk to everything while still having space to think, share, and connect. Also there are buses and taxis available, if you don't feel like walking.
This isn’t a conference where you sit and listen. It’s a living community — where conversations spark collaborations, and collaborations grow into projects that move us all closer to freedom.
6 Days of Connection
Here’s how the days are structured:
We might start with a group dinner the night before. TBA
Days 1–3 (Match 2-4, 2026): Main Stage presentations and workshops at Jardín Las Palmas (10am–7pm).
Days 4–6: Exploring Tepoztlan, workshops and excursions.
On the Main Stage
The structured talks at Jardín Las Palmas will spark ideas, but the real magic happens in the workshops, circles, and spontaneous conversations that follow. The focus is always practical — tools you can use immediately to strengthen your sovereignty, your health, your community, and your freedom.
Expect a mix of:
Solution‑focused workshops
Hands‑on demonstrations
Skill‑sharing sessions
Local explorations
Some workshops are free to join, while others with limited capacity or materials may require separate tickets. The full schedule will be released closer to the event.
The Right People, in the Right Place
The essence of Portal Gathering is the unexpected conversation that changes everything:
A chat that connects the dots in your research
A sunset circle where someone shares exactly what you’ve been seeking
A late‑night conversation where you feel understood
A hike that turns into a year‑long collaboration
When meaningful connections feel increasingly rare, Portal Gathering offers the soil where they naturally take root.
Tepoztlán: The Perfect Setting
Tepoztlán carries a different energy than most tourist towns. The pyramid leaves a lasting energetic imprint on the valley, and the trail leading up offers a sweeping view of the town below with the Tepoz cliffs rising behind it.
The markets still sell handmade goods, and the food connects to real Azteca traditions.
Just next door lies Amatlán, the birthplace of Quetzalcóatl — the feathered serpent, bringer of wisdom and transformation.
That energy still echoes through the mountains, making this the perfect place for a Gathering about portals, sovereignty, and creative consciousness.
Building What Comes Next
Portal Gathering isn’t just about sharing ideas. It’s about creating the connections that build something better.
Past gatherings have sparked:
Collaborative projects that scaled real solutions
Research groups that continued long after the event
Regional networks putting ideas into practice
Friendships and alliances that provided support through challenging times
This Gathering plants seeds that continue growing long after we leave Mexico.
Share Your Voice
Portal Gathering is built by the people who show up — researchers, builders, creators, healers, freedom‑seekers. If you have knowledge, skills, or solutions to share, we invite you to apply to speak or host a workshop.
This isn’t about talking at people. It’s about sharing what you’ve learned in a way that sparks collaboration, builds sovereignty, and helps others take action.
Join The Community
Whether you come for to meet specific speakers, participate in the full event, or simply want to connect with like-minded people who see what you see.
Portal Gathering offers something rare: a place where conversations that matter can happen freely - without judgment.
The Tepoz mountains have witnessed centuries of human history. For these six days, they’ll witness something new — people coming together not to talk about what’s wrong, but to practice what’s right: sovereignty, freedom, and creative consciousness.
