Speaker: Maria Skjerbaek
Why did you choose to attend?
Maria Skjerbaek : I chose to attend the Tribal Web Summer Festival because I was really longing for, to be part of a community doing meaningful things. Um So when uh The Tribal Vibe Summer Festival 2022 popped up in my Facebook feed, I was really blown away by the description actually. Um I was really like, wow, does something like this exist? But I was a little bit, maybe a little bit scared to, to sign up. But finally I did it actually and I have never regretted. It was just so good. I did that so I can really recommend that.
What was one of the most impactful takeaways for you?
Maria Skjerbaek : I think the most impactful take away from me until now after attending two Tribal Vibe Summer Festivals and one "In the dark" (a retreat red.) is that the impact on my nervous system. It was really amazing. Um My nervous system is kind of messed up since I hit my head in 2016 and got a concussion. So yes, I had a very hard time always keeping my breaks and not doing too much. Not too many impressions, always taking a break after something. But I just got so much energy from attending The Tribal Vibe summer festival that I felt so much better than I have ever done within the six years. Like when I first, after I first attended The Tribal Vibe. So yes, that really felt like magic because I had tried so many things for getting better. And I think, I think what, what the reason, the reason why I felt so much better is this environment of are making it possible to really be yourself together with other people. I think it's really, really healing. Um Yes, that is amazing.
What makes this event different from others you’ve attended in the past?
Maria Skjerbaek : I think what makes The Tribal Vibe special is that it gives the opportunity to be part of a community um without losing yourself. Um But being yourself actually authentically and um yes, exploring that, exploring, being yourself in community with others. And I think that's really important for our whole world world nowadays um that everybody gets better in that because then maybe in the end we can get a better world.
How is it for a newcomer to attend?
Maria Skjerbaek : When I first was on my way to my first The Tribal Vibe in 2022 I was so excited and scared and really scared of that. I would feel very strange and not like the right person to be there. And, but it was really amazing. I just actually remember I was picked up at the train station and there were four other driver in the car already. And from the second I was sat in into that car, I just felt at home. It was, it was so amazing. I was like, wow, I'm just at the right place. This is perfect and actually it never stopped that feeling. It just, uh went on during my whole uh whole week there and the same last year. So I can really recommend it even though you might be a little bit scared or a little bit. Not true, you will feel welcomed no matter what, no matter who you are, just be yourself, just relax and enjoy.
