The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy,
and after all our most pleasing responsibility.
To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.- Wendell Berry

Dear friends,
October is getting closer, and so is our gathering in Zagreb. Registrations for the International Macrobiotic Conference 2026 are still open, and if you have been thinking about joining us, we would be very happy to welcome you. All the information is here: dodaj link na web.
The programme is now taking its final shape, and we can already say that we have three rich and inspiring days ahead of us — with presentations, interactive workshops, movement, open discussion, time for exchange and socialising, and a full day together at Zrno Organic Farm.
Here is a glimpse of what awaits us:
DAY 1
The Philosophy of Macrobiotics: How to Think and Live Vitaly
- The Essence of Macrobiotics – Jan Verveecken
- Active & Amusing Okido Yoga – Anna McKenzie
- Vital Approach to Life – David Pejić
- The Transformative Power of 7 Principles – Kristiane Frost
- Vitalising Self-Education – Ritchie Tennant
DAY 2
Holistic Approach to Health: What Have We Learned So Far?
- Preparing for the New #8 – 9 Star 81 Year Cycle – Mike Chen
- No Labels, Just Questions: Veganism and Macrobiotic – Sandy Pukel
- Movement & Relaxation – Laia Escrig

DAY 3
Organic Farming: Return to the Essence
Our final conference day will take us to Zrno Organic Farm, where David Pejić and the Zrno team will guide us through the farm and its approach to organic agriculture. We will also plant a tree together, share a meal, look ahead to the 2027 conference in Denmark, and close our three days together with reflections, plans for the future — and an evening dinner party in Zagreb.
