Convergence is a co-created event. People have the opportunity to organise or lead as they feel drawn to, which creates an organic experience that is different and valuable each time. Because of this Convergence challenges people's self-responsibility. In the real world you don't have to be responsible for yourself. There is always someone there to pick you up at the end of the day. That's not what Convergence is about, it’s about teaching respect and responsibility. If you want something to happen at Convergence then you start gathering support. If you don’t do it, it doesn’t happen. Convergence gives people who do not see themselves as natural leaders a chance to step up. Convergence is sometimes described as loose, but the structures are often not seen. People get worried about how things will happen because they don't see the invisible structures that underpin Convergence. It appears chaotic, but there is a wealth of experience held by all of those people that have attended Convergence before. The experienced attendees are often in the background allowing others to participate and co-create the community for the time we are together. While the first year for some people may seem overwhelming just finding your way around and rushing from workshop to workshop, it does not have to be with the option to just hangout available as well. Convergence happens because volunteers contribute as they choose to and people do what they are passionate about or interested in. Magically the food gets prepared, the children occupied, entertainment is organised, workshops are run, maintenance is done, fires are stoked, rituals are offered, souls are soothed and connections happen. The beauty of co-creation is that things still get done. Some things are held and happen year after year, while other things are let go. Any gaps will be filled as they appear. There is wisdom in the crowd creating Convergence together.
