Festival of Formation: From Vision to Village

What if you were invited to participate in a living experiment — a five-day journey to rediscover your tribe and your place on Earth?

What if the land itself called you — Mother Earth whispering through wind and root, asking you to slow down, re-root, and remember.
To remember why you came.
To feel the spark of purpose rekindle as you sit beside a fire, faces aglow with kinship, stories, and song.
To realize — with others — that you are here to love.
To trust again.
To restore what has been forgotten: your connection to the Earth, to each other, and to yourself.

This is not just a retreat. It is a call.
A call to become part of a new story.
A story where trust is the foundation, and community is the compass.
Where our nervous systems can finally exhale, and our natural state of peace becomes the fertile ground for creativity, belonging, and regenerative action.

In these five days, we will begin the sacred work of forming a community of trust.
Together, we will:

Re-root ourselves in the wisdom of the Earth
Re-imagine our roles and relationships in this shared life
Re-free one another from inherited beliefs that no longer serve life
Re-build trust — within ourselves, each other, and the principles of community
Re-source our energy to co-create new systems aligned with nature’s intelligence

This is the beginning of a new culture — one that knows we were never meant to walk alone, compete, or dominate, but to coexist, co-create, and care.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
A deep reconnection to your inner knowing, the Earth, and the flowing life energies that awaken joy, play, and purpose.

A tribe of supportive, heart-centered beings, walking beside you as you step into your truth.

A living preview of how we might build a new system — rooted in trust, peace, and the wisdom of nature.

Your guides on this journey — Anja Cheriakova and Elisa van Dam — will walk beside you as facilitators and fellow vision-holders, inviting you into the co-creation of a new future.

REVIEWS
“Stillness, rhythm, co-creation and truth were the words that describe the week at Circle Way Tribe for me. It was a return to the essence, a moment of clarity about what really matters. Living in harmony with nature and its rhythms, but also with our own inner rhythms. Sharing our truth with each other, caring for each other, living The Circle Way. In addition, I felt deeply embraced by the beautiful land and the forest, whose love and care it receives is palpable. I am incredibly grateful and enriched❤️”

I look back on this wonderful week with a rich and deep feeling of satisfaction and gratitude. Truth Speaking from the heart, Sacred Inquiry from deep listening, Unraveling Structures and Cultural Norms from the core of who we are and Love in Action from the will to bring it all together in the mundane. Deep appreciation for Anja en Elisa being able to hold such a sacred space and providing a place for a future to thrive.
From the heart,
- André

To be immersed for a week in this beautiful atmosphere in and around the Circle Way Tribe has given me a smile when waking up, songs that spontaneously start singing inside of me, that enlarge the joy in me and touch my subconscious. Wat a lovely time of silence, deepening and presents. Presents in tears, thankfulness, remembering, intentions and especially connection.

What I take with me is joy, and the quality to turn inwards and feel before we react to ‘what’s happening around us.’ Thank you 💖🙏
- Elsa

A magical place where I could let go of my daily life, where my dreams and reality were facing each other, and where a vision for a new society alongside nature is becoming real. Everyone could be who they are and develop their talents even further.
- Mayu

To be part of this old/new way of living was a big present to me that will always stay with me. Not were we only guided into understanding the nature outside of us, but also within ourselves. It was given love and attention so we could heal. Back to our natural state of being. I was offered a remembrance of what it means to be a women and connect again with my essence. I learned to talk from my truth, heart to heart. This was sometimes a challenge, and no one was excluded from this amazing experience. As inwards, so outwords, as above so below. That is the Circle way for me. Thank you so so much dear Circle People!
- Robin

A magical place of deep experiences, is what it meant for me. The way we lived with nature was so nourishing, the seasons were honored. Everyday I saw how we worked with full devotion, love and strength towards a regenerative way of living, with each other and nature. Abundance for all.

Agreement between the Land, its People and the Philosophy of the Circle Way: All activities we do at Hof Imstenrade are within the agricultural scope and fits within the laws and regulations of the Netherlands in general and the municipality of Heerlen in particular. We live, work and receive people in accordance with what is allowed in this zone (the zoning plan / bestemmingsplan / omgevingsplan). 


The life philosophy of us as the Circle Way Tribe and the agricultural Cooperation at Hof Imstenrade, (art 6 grondrecht - recht op vrijheid van religie en levensovertuiging) is based on the Circle Way which means (amongst other things) to be in harmony with ourselves, each other, nature and animals. Activities that bring this forth and make us conscious about our connection with the earth and with ourselves come to expression in the way we do everything, so when we seed the plants, harvest crops, take care of the earth we are in awareness and in harmony with our sacred connection to all life. This means that everyone who volunteers and joins our cooperation is made aware of this and learns by applying in activities our philosophy of life.
