What's a Tangle

Not a conference. Not a retreat. Not a festival.
The Matukituki Tangle is a living gathering — a knot of people, ideas, and intentions woven together in place.

It’s a space for creative risk, slow thinking, and deep connection.

A Tangle is...

🧶 A Pattern in Progress
Forget linear agendas or tidy outcomes. A Tangle invites improvisation. Threads loop, pull, tighten. The design emerges together.

🌿 An Ecosystem of Effort
Artists, entrepreneurs, strategists, makers — all shaping a shared space. Like a forest, it’s sustained by diversity and interdependence.

🔥 A Site of Creative Friction
Big ideas need bold conversations. We welcome tension as fuel for transformation. The work gets better when it’s challenged with care.

🌀 A Place to Get Lost (and Found)
In nature. In thought. In dialogue. Tangle makes space for what doesn’t usually fit — the unresolved, the in-between, the real.

Why call it Tangle?

Because complexity isn’t the enemy — it’s the terrain.
We don’t come to untangle. We come to move through it together.

Come ready to:

• Share your work — not to pitch, but to open.

• Listen deeply — especially where you’re not the expert.

• Stay curious — about other disciplines, other cultures, other timelines.

• Build slow — legacy over hype. Lifetimes over quarters.

The Tangle is not for everyone.

But if you’re doing brave, meaningful work — and you want to meet others who are too — it might be exactly where you need to be.
