Praxis Hubs

Where theory meets practice to ignite a Second Renaissance

Life Itself Dordogne is a network of three live-in praxis hubs, by the river, on the farm, and atop the hill, nestled around Bergerac in southwest France.

Here, theory and practice converge in immersive experiments in community living, inner-led systems change, and deep-rooted cultural transformation. Residents prototype new patterns of collaboration and co-create teal organisms that evolve alongside a blossoming Second Renaissance.

Join us to experience transformative practices firsthand, shape the future of the Hubs, and forge lasting connections with fellow pioneers.

Residencies

For those seeking a wiser path for themselves and their societies

Are you searching for a community of kindred spirits, people committed to meaningful change, both personal and collective? Tired of short-lived retreats that promise transformation but rarely deliver lasting impact?

Life Itself residencies are designed for those ready to step into the deeper work of a Second Renaissance. At our hubs in France, we offer immersive experiences, guided or self-directed, from one week to several months.
