About this event
Five Days of Community, Children & Connection
Hello seekers of a truthful life,
We are a group of people in the process of buying a beautiful piece of land in the Belgian mountains of the Ardennes, where a river flows through the land and where we are able to build a small village.
After 5 years of experimenting, living together and growing Earth-reliant living, we are ready to take the next step.
We would like to invite people to join us in our next steps of community creation, a path that is about deepening our connection with ourselves, with each other, and with the Earth in a deep and truthful way.
- A gathering with children at the centre
This five-day gathering will focus especially on exploring and creating a culture where children are at the centre of community life.
We want to explore what happens when children are not separate from what adults are creating, but are fully included in the life of the community.
What do children need to blossom?
How can a community become a nurturing field for children to grow and unfold the gifts they naturally bring?
What does a children's culture look and feel like?
During these days, children and adults will explore together through crafts, creativity, outdoor play, movement, cooking, working with natural materials, and exploring the land.
There will be space to make, create, discover, get muddy, play, imagine, listen, and simply be together.
We want this to be a playful, grounded and inclusive experience, where children can express themselves freely and where adults can also learn from the way children experience and relate to the world.
- Our wider inquiry
Alongside this focus on children, we will continue exploring what it means to create a different way of living.
We are exploring questions such as:
What are we deeply longing for?
How can we live differently?
How can we place our children and our creativity at the centre of our community?
How can we integrate the natural rhythms of life into our daily lives?
How can we become guardians that dare to bring change to our surroundings and wider ecosystem?
We are exploring how to create our own food systems through growing wild gardens, eating in the most natural way, and understanding that we can live differently when we become more reliant on the Earth's resources and wisdom.
We are curious about how we can create ecosystems that support health and wellbeing through deep connection with nature.
At the heart of this journey is the question of deep connection and the forming of a culture of trust between one another, through the practice of understanding ourselves, taking responsibility for ourselves, and not placing blame on others.
Instead, we seek to help each other, to show each other a mirror, and to grow together in truth.
- Five days of exploration
During these five days we will explore:
* What is a children's culture, and what do children need to blossom?
* How can children be at the centre of community life?
* How can we learn from children and deepen our relationship with the Earth through their eyes?
* How can creativity, crafts, play and nature become part of our everyday lives?
* How can we free ourselves from old skins and old stories and live more in accordance with our true nature?
* How can we move beyond scarcity and open ourselves to new ways of creating and experiencing abundance?
* What does it ask of each of us to step into the **we-field** and live in service of a bigger vision?
We are all creative beings, and together we can be such a co-creative force to bring change.
- Come and feel into the community
This gathering is an opportunity to meet us, spend time together, explore the land, experience our way of being, and feel into whether this journey resonates with you.
If you feel called to join a community where this is not only an idea but a practice, we would love to welcome you.
Whether you are a parent, a farmer-to-be, a rewilding enthusiast, someone who loves working with their hands and heart, a creative, a storyteller, or simply someone longing to explore a more connected way of living — there is space to come as you are.
We are seeking to create something rooted in love, deep connection, truth, creativity, trust and sacred activism.
And we are especially interested in meeting people who truly want to build and co-create, people who are ready to put their two feet in, to learn, to contribute, and to grow together.
Come explore with us. Come play. Come create. Come meet the land and the people.

Gathering voluntary donation for adults, children <18 years old are invited free of charge
The costs are divided into three separate parts, the gathering, food, and sleeping arrangements. Each one is contributed separately; only the gathering contribution is arranged through Hipsy. There is no additional contribution for children. Their participation is a gift to us, and we are happy to welcome them into the gathering.
1- Gathering Contribution (choose what feels right for you)
We offer five contribution options for the gathering. The gathering experience itself is the same for everyone; the different amounts are there to acknowledge that people have different financial circumstances and different capacities to contribute. This covers the gathering itself, the program, facilitation, materials and the shared space we are creating together.
Please choose the amount that feels honest, comfortable, and sustainable for you. At the same time, if you have more financial space, choosing a higher contribution helps us keep the gathering accessible to people with less.
Our five contribution options:
Supported
For those who need to keep their contribution as low as possible.
Accessible
For those with a more limited budget.
Standard
A balanced contribution that helps cover the true costs of the gathering.
Supportive
For those who have more financial space and would like to contribute a little more.
Generous
For those who can contribute more and help create accessibility for others.
We trust that, together, we can create an exchange that is fair, transparent, and rooted in abundance rather than scarcity.
2. Food
Food and drinks are not included in the gathering contribution.
We will provide local, organic food and drinks for 5 days, and kindly ask for a total contribution of €75 per adult paid upon arrival.
3. Sleeping arrangements
Sleeping is not included in the gathering contribution.
You can choose between:
A. Camping, bring your own tent.
As a contribution towards the land and the basic facilities, we normally ask €15 per person per night. This is a reference amount rather than a fixed price. We trust you to contribute what feels fair and possible for you. This is also to be paid upon arrival.
B. Private room, limited availability and available for an additional fee. Please contact us if you are interested.

A note about contribution and accessibility
It is our wish that Circle Way Tribe gatherings and ceremonies remain accessible to everyone, including families.
We are learning how to create a culture of trust and abundance, and this includes how we exchange resources with one another.
If the supported contribution is difficult for you, please reach out to us. We would rather have an honest conversation than have finances become a barrier to connection.
At the same time, we invite those who have more space to contribute to hold that possibility for others.
Our intention is to find an exchange that feels fair, transparent and supportive of everyone involved, while allowing us to continue growing and moving towards our vision of building a culture of trust and abundance.
