Key Insights

Gathering of tribes: Festivals and gatherings of tribes provide opportunities for connection and learning. Week-long festivals around regeneration and development bring together diverse communities.

Indigenous wisdom: Many people come from Indigenous tribal lineages and have deep connections to traditional ways of living. There's much to learn from Indigenous peoples worldwide.

Linguistic diversity: Between 5,000 to 7,000 of the world's languages are within Indigenous tribes, representing vast cultural and knowledge diversity.

Connection to your people: Understanding your connection with your tribes and your people is foundational to building authentic community.

Local and traditional materials: Traditional approaches use local materials made by community members (often women), decorated according to tribal traditions and aesthetics.

Tribe's magic: Each tribe has its own unique "magic" or special qualities that emerge from their shared culture and practices.

Leadership humility: Effective tribe building requires humility—recognizing that leadership titles may not be appropriate and that everyone has something valuable to share.

• So, this group of people created something called Spirit Tribes, which is indeed a community that is interlinked with generative art and most specifically, it's a community that is bound together by our passion for
