KAPLANKAYA, TURKEY
MAY 13-17, 2026
THE 10TH CHAPTER
For nearly a decade, Harvest Series has been a gathering place for those who live and lead with courage: artists, activists, scientists, storytellers, seekers, and visionaries. Each edition has carved a path through the urgent questions of our time: from Hope to Connection, from Nature and Well-being to Belonging, Agency, Collective Repair, and Courage. Together, we have reckoned with our histories, examined our systems, and nourished the seeds of new ways of living and being.
As we step into our tenth edition, we pause. Between what was and what could be.
Harvest Kaplankaya 10 marks a threshold. A turning point. A liminal space between eras. It is both a celebration and a provocation. An honoring of all that came before, and an invocation of what is yet to come. Our theme for May 2026 is Imagination.
Not as escapism, but as an act of resistance and renewal.
Not as fantasy, but as a tool for justice, healing, and collective becoming.
In a world fractured by crisis and complexity, imagination is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
It is how we repair, how we dream, how we build futures not yet seen.
Imagination now invites us further.
To reckon, and to regenerate.
To sit with the tensions of our time: personal, political, ecological.
To ask, what must we release, and what are we ready to reimagine?
IMAGINATION AS FUTURE
ROOTED IN POSSIBILITY
Harvest Kaplankaya 10 will be a space of creative tension: between memory and possibility, grief and joy, discipline and play, identity and transformation. It is for those who dwell in the in-between - between generations, nations, languages, roles - and know that it is in this fertile ambiguity that the future takes root.
We are not simply imagining new worlds. We are building them through stories, art, ideas, relationships, rituals, technologies, and care.
Let this 10th edition be a call:
To dream courageously.
To create generously.
To imagine relentlessly.
THE LOCATION
On the edge of turquoise waters with Greek islands as the backdrop, Kaplankaya is spread over a hilly and rugged terrain dotted with olive groves and pine trees.
