Family Tribal Dance Collectives come in many forms and often defy definition.
However, they tend to share the following characteristics:

*Community building through Music, Theater, Art, Healing, and Dance
*Eco/Political Awareness is encouraged
*Gatherings are usually noncommercial and are often held outdoors
*Members are organized in a close-knit, family-like structure.
*Active participation by all who attend is encouraged
*Word-of-mouth is the primary promotion method
*Most importantly, they are dedicated to building a community that exists outside the context of the gatherings. This is also known as the Tribal-Nomadic-Dance-Movement

It is our belief that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle there are some fundamental life experiences that are too often overlooked in our current society. Therefore the prime focus of our events is to encourage individuals of all ages and denominations to express themselves through co-creative Music, Art, Theater, Healing and Dance.

"The luminous ones who would journey to Gaia's assistance agreed to spark each other's remembrance. Thus, these starseeded ones were encoded in many ways with sounds, colors, lights, images, words, and symbols -- a vibrational resonance that would assist them in remembering their commitment to the light. It was agreed that these coded clues would appear everywhere: in visionary art and music, in penetrating looks, in speech and feelings -- all creating a deep yearning to awaken and become the embodiment of love."
