Hearth Summit Nairobi 2026

HOSTED BY

Axum

ABOUT THE SUMMITABOUT THE SUMMIT

Fostering Intergenerational Wellbeing in Kenya

Axum will convene a two-day regional summit in Nairobi, Kenya, bringing together changemakers from across Africa.

This year’s Hearth Summit Nairobi explores the way we work, build & create, placing ecological and relational wellbeing at the heart of how we navigate the challenges of the digital age.

CONTENT PILLARSCONTENT PILLARS

Relational Wellbeing

The Relational Wellbeing track explores how we deal with trauma, grief, and relational pain with a focus on inner personal and collective healing as the foundation for sustainable impact and self-renewal. It also provides an opportunity to reimagine how we approach interpersonal, intergenerational, and communal restoration, as a way to alleviate the burden of burnout through collective care and shared life.

The Way We Work, Build & Create

At a time of polycrisis (climate change, conflict, and social unrest), made worse by fatigue and uncertainty, changemakers across sectors report deep exhaustion, with many operating in survival mode rather than thriving in purpose-driven work. Urgency has become our default, leaving little space for healing, reflection, or the inner work needed to sustain long-term impact. This track focuses on how we shift towards cultures of care, trust, and wellbeing for individuals, and in institutions and movements.

Wellbeing in the Digital Age

With the increasing importance of digital literacy in human interaction, this track will explore how we connect and act as global and local citizens, and how we build care and community in an environment where smartphones, social media, AI, and constant connectivity shape how we live, work, and interact.

Ecological Belonging

This track explores the relationship between nature and human flourishing. It honors how ecological restoration, food sovereignty, and intentional environmental planning and preservation, can also restore people, while building a sense of purpose as we collectively connect with the world around us.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTSPROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The summit is then organized around two major sub-themes, each anchoring two of the four core pillars. Each day begins with a plenary session that frames the discussions for the day and sets the context for the two pillars being explored.

Schedule At A Glance

The Hearth Summit Nairobi unfolds over two immersive days, each grounded in the summit’s core pillars. Day 1, Tending the Hearth, focuses on how we work, build, and create, exploring wellbeing in social, professional, and ecological contexts. Participants engage in thematic workshops on burnout, workplace wellness, money and wellbeing, and ecological wellbeing, alongside creative labs in floral design, dance, painting, and candle making. Day 2, Gathering at the Hearth, emphasizes relational and digital wellbeing, with sessions on restoration, reconciliation, coping with grief, and the role of technology in connection, activism, and community.

Together, the two days combine plenaries, workshops, and creative labs to offer reflection, learning, and embodied experiences for cultivating wellbeing in personal and collective life.
