What time is it? What we learned on the Gather tour 2023
Johnny Sertin and Mari Day have synthesised eight sessions of deep conversation with pioneers up and down the country to provide some thought-provoking signals for mission in the UK in the 21st century.
Gather was conceived and born during lockdown as a place to strengthen our connections, purpose and work. In this space, we value our collective wisdom and knowledge, sharing in an open-source culture.

This first event gathered over 500 people in the digital wild lands of Gather town. The year after, we hosted Gather in the wilderness on the Isle of Anglesey. These were beautifully curated spaces.
This year, Gather went on tour – right across the country. Thank you to everyone who hosted us and who took part. Here are some images, reflections and themes which emerged from the tour.
