Based on how 2025 unfolded, we were not able to host a centralized convening. Instead, many people gathered through regional dinner parties!

Visit the Dinner Party List to see the range of locations and formats folks put forth.

Thank you to the 20+ amazing Interstitionaries who responded to the call to join our working groups! Currently, the working group has two teams:

Illuminators: Seeking examples of the interstitium in action and illuminating those examples through any relevant media: writing, frameworks, illustrations, etc.

Guides: Agents developing a field guide (field guides?) and compass materials that aid existing interstitionaries in explaining what we do, and would aid aspiring interstitionaries to develop their practices, approaches and skill sets. 

In order to allow group coherence and forward momentum, we are not accepting new members at this time. However, if you’re interested in joining at a future date, please get in touch! hello@interstitia.net

Our first storytelling event (recording linked below!) highlighted many of the more theoretical and emotional facets of the nature of being an Interstitionary. (VIDEO HERE)

We invited six self-identified Interstitionaries from different fields to tell stories about how they have worked in Interstitionary ways, and the impact of their interventions. At the end of the event, we split into small groups to discuss themes that we heard across stories, and what those themes revealed about the nature of being an Interstitionary. 

So many great resources were generated during the gathering, we compiled them HERE.

Our second event invited a more participatory conversation. Participants gathered in small groups to talk about examples of their Interstitionary work and approaches in action.

We learn from complexity theory that a goldilocks number of random encounters are critical for creative emergence. Too many encounters and we’re overwhelmed. Too few and we get stuck in the bubble of our own pre-existing thinking.

In 2025, we experimented with the hypothesis that bi-monthly encounters with other Interstitionaries - randomly assigned - creates the potential to generate a lot of “adjacent possibilities*”!

Over 2025 we made 263 matches and got a lot of great feedback!

We have currently paused matching for 2026, however if you’d like to be matched in the future, click here to sign up. You’ll be asked to share your name, email address, geographic location (if you desire IRL matches), and to consent to having your information shared with other members of our community.

*A term coined by complexity scientist Stuart Kauffman.

We received lots of feedback that it would be useful to be more precise about the qualities of Interstitionaries, and what differentiates them. (Read this essay if you’re new to the word “interstitionary” and what it means.)

We designed this self-assessment tool to help Interstitionaries feel more seen and valued, and for teams to be able to see how different members' strengths and orientations may relate to one another.

We’d love your feedback about this assessment! You can see all the results here and provide any thoughts via this form.
