How to start your own Love Tribe

A Love Tribe is a group of people who are committed to creating friendship and support for each other, and working together to love and serve the world.

The basic formula is simple:

  • Regular meetings
  • Unity of spirit
  • Group Discussions
  • Cooperative service

Regular meetings:
Create camaraderie with one another by meeting on a regular basis. It takes time and consistency to deepen friendships, so we encourage you to meet often enough to be a keep the feeling of connection alive. You can decide how frequently you want to meet, and modify it as your group takes shape and grows in inspiration. Here are some options: twice a week (recommended), once a week, twice a month.

Unity of spirit: Unity of spirit is what makes any group feel like a real spiritual family. To cultivate unity of spirit with each other and to generate an abundance of love, well-being, and spiritual attunement to bring to the group’s activities, we recommend starting each Love Tribe gathering with a brief meditation using a technique called "Unification." Unification is non-sectarian, entirely based on love, and simple enough for anyone to do. Meditate for whatever length of time feels right to the group. Some options are: three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.

Discussion and personal study: To enhance the effectiveness of your Love Tribe mission and to deepen your relationships with each other, we provide weekly discussion topics to incorporate into your Love Tribe routine. These materials (short readings with study questions) can help you develop a deeper understanding of love, service, humanity, and God.

Your group can use these materials as conversation starters at group meetings, and distribute them to members for private reading and consideration. These will be made available on a new website we’re currently developing to support the proliferation of Love Tribes. We’ll announce the URL here when it’s ready!

Cooperative Service: Serving the humanity is a very important part of Love Tribe’s purpose. Serving is a great joy to every human being, and a way to give love and care to others in forms that are clearly wanted and needed.

Also, it is great spiritual gift to learn how to harmoniously work together, make decisions together, and give your energy together. The high energy of a cooperative work team richly feeds both the givers and receivers of their works.

If your schedule allows, end each Love Tribe meeting by going out and doing a service project together. Or, you could do a service project at every other meeting, and have the group discussions at the meetings in-between. Whatever works best for you.

Look for appropriate opportunities to serve people in your neighborhood or city. And when there aren't any convenient opportunities for community service, take turns helping each other at your own homes.
