Urban refuge ✳ Point of convergence ✳ Shared table ✳ Co-dreaming
Where Climate Week
Comes to Dream
An urban refuge to cohere our dreams into a resilient,
regenerative future.
September 20–27 · East Village, New York.
We are inviting the builders, dreamers, and doers who are tackling the Metacrisis and building a prosocial, regenerative future. We’ve partnered up with New York City’s oldest organic vegan restaurant to create a space for cross-pollination and convergence between worlds as we consider how to future-proof ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
Come nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
This space exists to support you.
“Here we are, all of us: in a dream-caravan.”
Bahaudin Naqshband · Sufi mystic
All week long, this space will offer nourishing bites and thoughtful events. If we can support your team with a workshop, talk, or activity, please let us know.
Our private back room holds 30 to 40 people depending on how you use it, with a screen and A/V. Hosts either sell tickets or simply order food. Floor plan coming shortly; apply below for any of the open blocks.
The rest of the week is open, and the room is listening. Submit an event, or .
You can request an open block for the back room, which holds 30 to 40 people. The front room stays open to everyone all week as the refuge, so it is not bookable right now. Blocks sit half an hour apart so we can turn the room around between gatherings.

Is this you? Read what we are reaching for
We want to future-proof our neighborhoods by tapping into building resiliency practices, networks, and structures. During Climate Week we want to be a pollinator hub of regenerators, where both native New Yorkers and people doing this work elsewhere can come together and get inspired.
We are asking: what critical connections do we want or need to make to deepen our capacity towards building Islands of Coherence, or future-proofed communities?
The back room. East Sixth Street, five minutes from Tompkins Square Park.
Caravan of Dreams has fed the East Village since 1991.
Its name echoes a Sufi teaching. The mystic Bahaudin Naqshband described humanity as a dream-caravan: individuals traveling together, yet each suspended in their own subjective reality, carried by their own hopes and illusions.
This week, we hope to gather those dreams together, right here in NYC.
The house is well set up for it. Out front there is a public room with a small stage, where the kitchen keeps coffee, snacks, plates and drinks coming all day. Behind it sits a private back room with a screen and A/V, for the conversations that want a door closed.
The doors are open from 11 AM to 11 PM, all week, for the curious locals and the weary travelers alike.
