Primal Gathering August 2019

Our Primal Nature is Love. 
Our Tribe is all Tribes. 
Our Planet is our Home.

WE BELIEVE that when we merge tribes from all walks of life and aim to build, not destroy, we serve as an example to the world as a model of Conscious Living and Sustainability.

IT IS OUR BELIEF that the root of all evil comes from disconnection and a LACK OF SELF-LOVE. That is why the world needs more safe spaces like the ones we create for people to be themselves. Fully.

 --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  -- 

TODAY WE INVITE YOU to join us for a 3 and a half day zero-waste, plastic-free, restorative and regenerative gathering at Quinta Ten Chi. Coming together, to create an environmental, social and psychological positive impact as a community for the WHOLE family!

WE ARE DEDICATED TO EMPOWERING people with the skills to be self-sustainable and that can be used in their day-to-day lives.

For the self
For relating to others
For living in harmony with Earth

For 3 days we will JOIN TO BUILD A COMMUNITY PRACTICE of restoring ecosystems while replenishing ourselves and nurturing our relationships.

LEAVING PEOPLE AND PLACES BETTER THAN HOW WE FIND THEM.

Physically
Emotionally
Spiritually

We will start and close each day together.

OUR VISION - Regeneration 

That together as a tribe we plant seeds for a more sustainable future. That we as a community gather together every year in this way, leaving the places we occupy better than how we find them. Our intention is to be a sustainable model that can be used to restore forests and ecosystems all over the world.

OUR INTENTION is to plant at least 2072 trees per year during our events, working towards planting 1 million trees within the next 5 years. All our events will promote zero waste and plastic-free living. 

Our next event will be a Reforestation gathering in either October or November this year.

Self and Shared Responsibility 

"It takes time to do things right" - Ana Sal Sal

Primal Gathering asks that all those who join us make an extra effort to be aware of their behaviour towards themselves, those they interact with and the Earth we are protecting. We kindly request that each individual is mindful of their waste and cleaning habits whilst on site, as everyone is expected to clean up after themselves.  In short, we are all responsible for a zero impact and zero footprint presence during our stay. 

We also encourage you to make use of this time to tune in, consistently, to manage your own energy, acknowledging what is a full-body yes, full-body no, and when you can or cannot be social with others. In life it can be hard to do so, so we invite you to try something different during our gathering. 

 --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --

A delimited camping area will be provided inside the festival grounds. Please respect all the rules established for a conscious use of the land. Fire is prohibited during the summer season.

What is Primal?

Primal is a family of holistic facilitators, safe spaces and good people focused on empowering people to return to their primal nature through sound, movement, meditation, nutrition and different forms of creativity. Creating spaces for people to give themselves permission to be all of themselves.

We come together to learn to coexist with ourselves, each other and the planet that nurtures us all.
