TRIBALISM

Every assembly embodies the essence of a tribe. Recognizing this truth and leveraging it to foster community within our diverse groups and organizations can serve as a powerful tool for enhancing group harmony and well-being.

Tribal dynamics unfold within circles, not hierarchies. Let’s draw inspiration from illustrious circles: the circular dwellings of Plains Indians, the tribal governance structure of the Iroquois Confederacy (which influenced our Congress), Yurts, circular settlements in Africa...

Each member must feel esteemed, revered, and integral to the tribe. Every unit or individual within the tribe fulfills a distinct role. In a thriving tribe, these roles align with the talents and passions of each unit or person.

Group residences where each participant is encouraged to actively contribute to the tribe’s activities. Your contributions matter! What talents and passions are you willing to share to enrich our tribe? Are you an artist, an organizer, a chef, a gardener, a dancer, or a musician? Do you enjoy physical activities and sports? Reflect on your identity and aspirations. Perhaps there's a skill you wish to cultivate. Embracing joy is crucial! What brings you happiness?

We will warmly embrace and embrace every member into the tribe.

We will integrate tribal practices such as drumming circles, dance, singing, and art, incorporating Hebrew letters and words as creative motifs.

We will provide opportunities for professional growth within the program for individuals transitioning through it.

Empower each person to venture into the world equipped with new skills and a resilient, optimistic outlook, having nurtured their talents and sense of self and tribe: bolstering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience and knowing they are not truly alone. We all thrive with the support of those around us.

Our goal is for every participant in our program to emerge from the experience deeply appreciating the life they have cultivated while part of the program!
