The Savage Collective will co-hosting a regional Doomer Optimism Gathering in Ligonier, PA.

Join us! Reserve your spot today as space is very limited!

In the midst of the Machine Age, we come together to ask urgent questions about how to live, love, and build resilient communities. This gathering is a space to wrestle with the forces reshaping our world—from the pressures of technology on family life to the ideological battles defining American politics. We’ll explore the shifting landscapes of sex, marriage, and meaning in an era of uncertainty, sharing ideas on how to push back against the Machine. Through lively conversation and insights from leading writers, thinkers, and activists, we’ll uncover ways to reclaim personal freedom, reimagine relationships, and cultivate spaces of creative resistance.

Beyond formal programming, we will also engage in poetry readings, sing-alongs, shared meals, and spirited debates over drinks. There will be plenty of time for toasts, laughter, and unhurried, meaningful conversations that deepen connections and spark fresh insights.

We encourage families to join—this event is designed to welcome and inspire all generations.
