Fluidity Forum 2026

An intimate, participatory gathering for bloggers and readers interested in how humans make sense of things.

We take over a giant Airbnb, where slide presentations and somatic workshops are equally at home.

An intricate, iridescent arrangement of interlocking organic and mechanical forms.

Fluidity Forum brings together people interested in metamodernity, sense-making, rationalism, metarationality, and thinking-about-thinking.

The program includes formal talks, open discussions, workshops, performances, and whatever cool, useful, playful, or intellectual things attendees decide to contribute.

Present something

Bring a developed argument, an unfinished question, a demonstration, or a panel conversation.

Try a practice

Join embodied, interpersonal, and reflective workshops alongside analytic inquiry.

Live together briefly

Share meals, common rooms, chores, late conversations, and the unscheduled life between sessions.

Fluidity Forum attendees gathered for a group portrait in a residential common room.

Fluidity takes place in a large shared house, not a hotel conference center. Q&A of a talk can continue over dinner. Workshops can turn into late-night conversations. An idea can be revisited after everybody slept on it.

A few dozen attendees create a temporary household with unusually high conversational density.

Attendees seated around a living room while two people present beside a screen. — Presentations happen in the same rooms where conversations continue afterward. This is our late-night karaoke.

A participant leads an interactive workshop for people seated in a circle. — Interactive workshops make participants part of the material.

Two participants give a musical presentation at an electric keyboard. — Demonstrations and performances sit comfortably beside talks.

Six wooden dice engraved with symbols representing textures of the complete stance. — Each year, attendees receive a handmade gift. This shows dice with symbols representing the six textures of the Complete Stance, central to Fluidity Forum: Wonder, Curiosity, Humor, Play, Enjoyment, and Creation.

The Ideology Altar

Each year, participants may bring an ideology as their “plus one”: an object representing a memetic system they want to bring into the gathering as though it were another guest.

Together, the objects form the Ideology Altar. Giving each ideology a body and a name makes our frameworks visible—present in the conversation, but distinct from the people carrying them.

We don’t just talk about the flexibility of frameworks; we find ways to run the event consistent with that.
