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 in which we all move, and dealing with uncertain outcomes is our everyday reality.
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. Generations 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.
