Thriving In Tribe

Our August residency is only for 10 days but we are planning our Autumn residency to run from October 31st to November 30th, so you can choose to stay for the full 4 weeks if you want to!

If you wish to bring a child, here’s what you need to know:

For very young children: You will need to be fully responsible for them at all times, and their presence will inevitably impact your experience of being in tribe. Do not expect a village model of shared childcare—this is not yet something we can offer. 

For older children: Be aware that this is a sex-positive, adult-themed space, where open conversations and experiences around intimacy, embodiment, and deep relational work may take place. We place the responsibility on each parent to discern whether this is the right environment for their child. 

Camping – Bring Your Own Tent (Budget-Friendly & Immersed in Nature)

✔ Outdoor heated shower, toilet, and sink area shared among campers.

✔ Wi-Fi access in the camping field.

✔ Fully immersed in nature, waking up to the sights and sounds of the land.

Motorhome / Campervan – Plug into Our Infrastructure 

If you have a motorhome, camper, or converted van, you can park in our designated hard-ground camper area,which offers:

✔ Electricity & water hookups—no need to run on batteries or refill tanks constantly.

✔ A paved, level parking space designed for campervans.

✔ The comfort of your own vehicle while staying fully connected to the residency experience.

Shared Rooms in the Main House – Spacious & Comfortable 

Our five shared rooms in the main community house offer a warm, home-like atmosphere with modern amenities.

✔ Two beds per room, making it ideal for couples or paired participants. 

✔ Spacious rooms with wood flooring, high-quality mattresses, desks, and minimal modern furnishings. 

✔ Fully heated with mosquito nets, and fans available upon request.

Shared Bathrooms: 

Downstairs: Two rooms share a single bathroom with a shower and bathtub. 

Middle Floor: Three rooms share a separate toilet and a separate shower room (not combined). These rooms also have access to an additional overflow bathroom on the third floor. 
 

Shared Room in a Tiny Home – 

Our custom-built tiny homes offer a unique living experience.

✔ Each tiny home is 8.5 meters long by 2.5 meters wide with two private rooms and a shared bathroom. 

✔ You will share the tiny home with up to 2 others.

✔ Fully heated, immersed in nature, and designed for comfort & tranquility. 

New Eden has a dedicated cleaning team that comes in once a week to maintain the common areas, bathrooms, and toilets. However, this is not a hotel or resort—it is a living, breathing community, and we are all responsible for keeping our shared spaces clean, fresh, and vibrant.

To cultivate a culture of contribution rather than passive consumption, we ask everyone to:

✔ Maintain their own rooms and respect shared spaces.

✔ Take initiative—if something needs tidying, step in rather than waiting for someone else to do it.

✔ Participate in a “Zone of Devotion”—each resident will be part of a small team responsible for caring for a specific area of the community. This could mean vacuuming, tidying, refreshing a space with flowers, or ensuring it remains welcoming and energetically clear. 

✔ Contribute to meal preparation—such as chopping vegetables, assisting with washing dishes, and tidying up the kitchen. Preparing food together is a community-bonding experience, fostering connection through shared service.

We are committed to providing nourishing, high-quality meals that support a healthy, conscious lifestyle. 

We have a team preparing delicious, organic-leaning vegetarian meals, with the option to request vegan and gluten-free alternatives. Our meals are made with simple, whole ingredients, minimizing processed sugars and prioritizing fresh, nutrient-dense foods. 

For those who prefer to include meat in their diet, we provide a designated space and grill for you to purchase and prepare your own meat. You can visit the local supermarket, bring back the protein of your choice, and cook it separately—allowing you to pair it with the fresh vegetarian dishes we provide.

This approach ensures everyone’s dietary needs are honored while maintaining a respectful, community-driven food culture that supports all preferences.

Yes! We offer flexible stay options to meet you where you’re at.

You can join us just for a Thriving in Tribe Weekend Gathering (Friday to Sunday) as a powerful two-day immersion, or stay for a full week (Friday to Friday) if you can’t commit to the full 10-day experience.

Once your application is approved, you’ll receive a registration link where you can choose the option that best fits your schedule.

Yes, you don’t need to be initiated into Heart iQ to join the residency. While having a Heart iQ background is recommended, it’s not required.

We do ask that you have some experience with intentional group work — whether that’s through Authentic Relating, Circling, or another form of conscious community practice. This ensures you’re familiar with the kind of presence, self-awareness, and relational sensitivity that supports the field.

If you’re brand new to this kind of work and haven’t experienced Heart iQ or any similar group space before, we recommend starting with one of our retreats first before applying for the residency.

While we don’t currently offer scholarships, we do have limited work exchange opportunities for those who feel called to contribute more during the residency.

This could include tasks like helping in the kitchen, cleaning, or supporting projects on the land. If accepted for work exchange, your experience will look a bit different — you’ll be here primarily in a service role rather than focusing on personal projects or spacious integration.

If this path resonates, let us know in your application and we’ll explore whether it’s a good fit.
