We are not a festival. We are a community that gathers for festivals and other events. 

In the The Tribal Vibe (TTV) community there are people who make these events happen; some tribers are in the Organising Team (OT) who are the back bone of TTV all year round, some tribers are facilitators who might be part of one, two or more events, some tribers are sometimes helpers or volunteers.

No matter the role - we are all TRIBERS and cherished parts of this community.

We all enjoy the same opportunities e.g. attend workshops, honor the guidelines and 6 practices. 

In addition to this, any member of OT or Faculty is also subject to the Full Transparency Policy or clause because we want all interactions to be as conscious and safe for all parties as possible”

Why have Guidelines?

By following the guidelines and 6 practices are statements of how we aspire to live and work together at THE TRIBAL VIBE.

They are tools for self-transformation, the way we relate to each other and the environment. All staff and volunteers agree to follow these guidelines to the best of their ability when they take a position with us here in our business and community.

The guidelines also serve as a supportive foundation to create a safe and productive space for all people who joins THE TRIBAL VIBE during shorter periods throughout the year during events and festivals. We strive to continuously implement these guidelines and make them come alive throughout the organisation.

General Guidelines

• We honor the courage to show vulnerability and strength.
• We salute the willingess to autentically express  what you desire and what you do not want.
• We encourage everybody to appreciate the desires of the other - even if we ourselves are a no for that particular desire.
• We respect fully the boundaries of the other. 
• We ask for support when we need it. If we get triggered and can't process it ourselves we ask for support from the facilitator and/or EMO team.
• If we observe or suspect malignent or dysfunctional behaviour we reach out to TTV crew for support.
• We leave no or better trace. Where ever we go we strive to leave the place in a cleaner and more harmonious state.

No drugs or alcohol policy

• When we gather, we meet each other with authentic and sober minds and bodies
• We allow no alcohol or any kind drugs/ plant medicine (rapé, MDMA, ayahuasca, weed, mushrooms etc).
• We indulge in the body's own ability to alter states of mind and body e.g. by breath and body work, visualisation, aspecting, shamanic tools, tantric energetic touch, gaze etc
• Exception only is prescribed medication.

Additional Guidelines for Faculty and Organising Team (OT)

Full Transparency Policy: 

The Faculty morning meeting is also the space where we all openly share relationships we have formed prior to the festival and/or attractions that might have occurred in or outside festival workshops or that we may for participants/volunteers/faculty prior to acting on it. 

We practise transparency to make it as safe as possible for you and the participants/volunteers to interact on an intimate level. 

Ethics Policy: 

We maintain clear ethical standards to ensure safety, integrity, and trust in all interactions between participants and facilitators. Because our workshops may involve intimacy, sensuality, and energetic exchange, we commit to holding these dynamics with transparency and care.

Power Dynamics & Awareness

Facilitators hold a position of responsibility and influence. Any personal, romantic, or sexual engagement with participants must be approached with extreme caution and is only permissible with full team awareness and alignment. Participant wellbeing always comes first.

Participation of Facilitators/OT

Facilitators may join exercises that include intimate or sexual energy. When doing so, they commit to:

Staying in professional responsibility

Prioritizing participant boundaries and agency

Participating only for the benefit of the container, not for personal interest

Naming any personal attraction or charge that arises

Transparency & Accountability

In line with our Transparency Policy, facilitators disclose in the Faculty Morning Meeting:

- Any pre-existing relationships with participants, volunteers, or faculty

- Any attractions or relational dynamics that arise before or during the event

This collective transparency ensures integrity and helps us maintain a safe and accountable environment.

Commitment to Safety

Our priority is the emotional, physical, and energetic safety of participants. If a facilitator’s personal dynamics could interfere with this, they step back from interactions and the team reassesses roles.
