Tribe In: a shared experience that embodies the essence of finding authenticity amidst a moment to switch off the real noise and switch on what it is.
A great living art piece. Where everyone is learning from each other’s differences. Unique and essential

Tribe In 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.
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.
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. We can't wait to put our feet on the land again, swim in the beautiful river, enjoy delicious food, listen to the inspiring stories shared around the fire, and, most of all, reconnect with all the beautiful people.
Join a world-class tribe as we blend native knowledge with modern wellness. It's an exclusive curation of cultural experiences in the heart of nature.
