Lake Winnipesaukee, Moultonborough, NH
June 3–7, 2026
“Changemakers take action, believing that a brighter future, a better path forward, is possible and giving themselves permission to go create it.”
Together, we will learn new skills, share stories, develop stronger relationships, and explore ways to bring whole food, plant-based eating to others. By nourishing the changemaker that lives inside all of us, we will see the many ways that we can collectively create meaningful change. Come with an open heart and mind. Leave energized and with ideas and skills you can use in big and small ways to make a difference where you live, work, and play. Accommodations are clean, comfortable, and rustic, with an old-school charm that feels familiar and relaxed—perfect for those who value nature over luxury.
Renewed people
renew the world
Together we do more
Begin where you are,
go where you dare

We are delighted to host our first plant-based changemakers gathering at Geneva Point Center on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. Why? We have found a kindred partnership.
Like CNS, Geneva Point exists to “do something distinctive that helps renew and inspire people to go back to their homes and communities and make their worlds better.” Geneva Point hosts organizations that promote healthy living, address important health issues, inspire learning, and foster positive communities.
“Geneva Point Center provides an inclusive and beautiful natural setting to rejuvenate, nurture relationships and prepare to build a better world.”
"Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities."
Play is an essential part of health and an integral part of this event. For some, play means vigorous activity; for others, engaging in less physical pursuits. There is something for everyone at Geneva Point.
Miles of hiking trails, kayaks, canoes, a 9-hole disc golf course, outdoor table tennis, cornhole boards, volleyball, giant Jenga, bocce, and even small cones for soccer games.
Outdoor benches, screened porches, and common areas for quiet reflection, board games, and casual conversation.
We’ll start the day with a range of optional, fun activities: yoga, group strolls, a meditative hike, cold plunges in the lake, walking, or running. If quiet reflection time is more your style, you can stake out a spot near the lake, off the beaten path, in your room, or on one of the porches.
Our mornings will combine group learning sessions and smaller roundtable discussions designed to provide participants with information more tailored to their individual interests.
Session topics are still being finalized, but you can expect topics along the lines of the following: Starting Something from Scratch, Planning with Purpose, Setting Your Why, Identifying Your Strengths, Surrounding Yourself with the Right People, Asking the Correct Questions, Finding Resources, Knowing Your Field, Growing Momentum, Avoiding Burnout, Navigating Resistance, and Listening/Evaluating/Adapting.
Play is an essential part of health and an integral part of this event. Take advantage of the waterfront, hiking trails, or disc golf course. Play a board game with some new friends. Power down with some breathwork. This is your time to do as you like. We’ll also offer optional facilitated small group discussions at this time.
This time is set aside to showcase changemakers among us who are walking the walk and talking the talk. They will share what they are doing and how they are doing it, so you can get ideas, be inspired, and turn what you learn into actions of your own.
Everybody is different. Some people are just getting started at the end of the day while others are winding down. We’ll have planned evening activities for those who draw strength from interaction with others. Those who need solitude or gentler activities to recharge can use this time for evening strolls or reading.
Registration runs from 2–5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, followed by dinner and a welcome reception. The week will wrap up at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
The meals are whole food, plant-based, with no added oil. Minimal amounts of sweeteners and salt will be used. Meals will be served buffet style so participants can select the items that best fit their needs. Participants can list food allergies on the registration form.
Accommodations are clean, comfortable, and rustic, with an old-school charm that feels familiar and relaxed—perfect for those who value connection over luxury. Housing ranges from tent camping to shared Airbnb lodges, with other choices in between.
Many housing options involve shared rooms and bathrooms (segregated by gender), though private rooms are available. There is limited availability for each type of housing. Reservations are made on a first come, first served basis. Register early to ensure you get your choice of housing.
Airports: Boston Logan Airport is 2–2.5 hours away. Manchester Airport is about 1.5 hours away.
Ground Transportation: Guests will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the airport to Geneva Point.
Parking: Geneva Point has ample free parking.
Cancellations received in writing on or before Wednesday, May 6, 2026, for the June event will be refunded the full registration fee, less a 10 percent administrative fee. No refunds will be issued thereafter. Substitute participants will be accepted up to the start date of the event.
Geneva Point has solid Wi-Fi connectivity almost everywhere. It might be a bit less reliable right at the lake, where the fiber optics haven't been installed yet. Lake View Lodge tends to have the spottiest reception, but there are transponders in Gibbes, the Inn, Meeting House, Barn, and Office, so coverage is good across most of the campus. If a stable internet connection is a must-have for you, please indicate this on your registration form.
Weather: The weather in early June can fluctuate greatly. It is best to check the forecast closer to the date of the event and be prepared for a range of cooler to warmer weather. The average daily temperature ranges from 60 to the low 70s with low 50s at night. However, it can be warmer or colder, so plan on packing extra layers, especially if you plan to spend time in Mother Nature.
Clothing: The gathering is a casual affair, so wear what’s comfortable. Walking shoes or hiking boots, a jacket, a hat, gloves, and a raincoat are a good idea if you plan to take advantage of the outdoor activities in your free time. It is never a bad idea to throw in a pair of house shoes or slippers to wear in your sleeping quarters, especially if your feet are more sensitive to the cold.
Notetakers, be sure to include a notebook and writing utensil or an electronic device. A book if you are a reader and a walking pole/stick if you are a hiker are good ideas. A reusable water bottle cuts down on the number of glasses we need to wash and is handy if you plan to hike.
Geneva Point Center actively works to reduce food waste by transforming leftovers from one meal into dishes for the next. Food scraps are composted on the property. Ingredients are sourced through a regional distributor whenever possible in order to support local farms and businesses. Disposable cups and other tableware are not used.
Name badges are reused, handouts are electronic, and no plastic event tokens are given.
