​
Over 6 life-changing days we'll explore ways in which we can meet the present and future with creativity, courage, capacity and joy both individually and in community.

TOGETHER
We will create a tribe. We will work respectfully with an individual's wishes to push their own boundaries. We will support you to be yourself, not what others want you to be. We will support you to be yourself, not what you think you should be. We will enjoy ourselves!

"Hill tribe is an antidote to our risk averse culture, production line schooling, over stimulated, nature deprived lives."
