TRIBE IN VI

What a blessing it is to return to the land, to each other, to the great turning of the wheel. We meet in the energy of March Equinox, when the Earth and light stand in balance, and the Sun begins a new journey through the stars. A time to release, to renew what is true, to root in ritual, and to stand barefoot in the full power of becoming.

This is our sixth gathering. And in the language of numbers, 6 is the heart of the spiral - a symbol of harmony, devotion, and integration. It speaks to balance between inner and outer worlds, between giving and receiving, doing and being. It is the return point - where the journey of the self spirals toward the heart of community. 2026 also dances to the rhythm of the wild and untamed - the year of the Fire Horse, a rare and potent force in the Chinese zodiac. Vibrant, radiant, and free, the Fire Horse carries the energies of transformation, courage, and collective liberation.

And so we gather - to remember what we carry. To tend to the fire that lives in us and between us. To weave our voices into prayer, our movement into offering, our presence into power.

the tribe has spoken

TribeIn is more than just a retreat - it's an experience we look forward to every year. Coming together with soulful people is a highlight, and our 5-year-old daughter talks about it all year long. We've been attending for three years now, and every year we are amazed by how it grows and gets even better.Participating in the ceremonies is such a treat, and the flow of it all is truly amazing. We feel so held by the wonderful facilitators who have become like family to us over the years. Meeting all the new people who are fortunate enough to join and experience the Tribe is equally special.The afterglow of TribeIn lingers long after the retreat ends. ~Miranda O'Brien

TribeIn is my most favorite festival. It brings together a beautiful tribe of global souls to share wisdom and community. Being right on the river with all the gatherings close by gives it an intimate, relaxing feel. The Tribe In crew put such care and love into the organization, it feels considered, grounded and expansive.  Meet wisdom keepers, feel the earth and reconnect. ~Robyn / Holistica

Well, it’s as if I stepped into a world where nature and connection reign supreme. TribeIn festival is an intimate gathering that celebrates the beauty of life and the bond we share with the earth. It provides a rare opportunity to connect us to the ancestors, to the original people who came before us and from whom we have much to learn. Nestled in an extraordinary valley alongside a river, I found myself immersed in a vibrant community of like-minded souls who cherish the rhythms of nature, the power of music, and the warmth of genuine connection. ~ Avril
