Harmony Tribe
Harmony Tribe – Our Values
Harmony Tribe is a welcoming and diverse spiritual organization that embraces honesty, compassion, and inclusiveness. Through accountability and transparency we demonstrate respect for ourselves, our community, and that which we hold sacred.
What Brings Us Together
How We Work Together
Harmony Tribe (est. 1998) was started simply as a group of individuals who came together for the common purpose of hosting a magic Pagan festival during the harvest season: the Sacred Harvest Festival.
While many among us explore diverse and various Pagan religion paths including Shamanism, Wicca and other Earth-based and Earth-friendly beliefs, we all share the same common ground philosophically and spiritually. Come and experience creating something beyond yourself: the building of a tribal community!
We welcome all who embrace nature spirituality in some form. Acceptance is our desire; tolerance, respect and love is our rule.
Our Tribe is currently undergoing a renewal, and we look forward to the input of our Members on improvements in organization and structure. Our process has bound us into a Tribal Community. Our tribe is organized and coordinated by the Harmony Tribe Council, which is composed of three member-elected Officers and up to 24 Council Members at Large
The Council commits to a 52-week term and the duration of one festival. Harmony Tribe Members and Volunteers organize into committees to accomplish the tasks of our mission. For contact information to your council, please refer to the directory below.
What We Are
Harmony Tribe is a non-profit organization registered in the state of Minnesota. Harmony Tribe is established exclusively for charitable, religious, and educational purposes for practitioners of earth-centered spiritualities.
This is accomplished through:
- Hosting a yearly gathering and other events to facilitate opportunities for spiritual growth and development
- Co-creating an inclusive community for people who support Harmony Tribe’s values
- and Engaging and informing members and the general public about our activities and purpose.
Our Governance
