Welcome to the Tribe

British Columbia,

Canada

(No offical location founded yet!)

Mexico

(Central or South America)

It is our intention to create an intentional sustainable tribal community in order to return to a way of life that is in harmony with Nature, and all its elements. Our first step on the way to creating this community has been to create a clear Vision or Proposal for the community envisioned. This proposal acts as a tool for gathering the many like-minded individuals that resonate deeply with this vision. When enough people are gathered who want the same thing, the community will be realized as the community is about the People first and foremost. The first group of people that come together will then decide on the exact location and build on the vision together. The information contained in the proposal are but tools to bring our tribal families together, from here the unfolding of community is expected to be an organic one, real and alive and adaptable as are the people involved.
