“The Gathering of Tribes 2022 was the most beautiful Capoeira Workshop I have ever been to in 12 years of Capoeira.
I felt immediately at ease and comfortable in the warm, welcoming and accepting atmosphere, even though I hadn’t met anybody there in person before. I only knew a few people via Zoom, from our online trainings.
Loved the training part. No boring standard drills, instead the teachers used creative and explorative approaches to Capoeira movements. The same held true for the music part and the Rodas. Everybody could participate, and everybody got support.
Add to that the beautiful environment and the fantastic food. I will defnitely go again this year, and would recommend it to anybody involved or interested in Capoeira.”
– Henrike Eger / monitora da Capoeira, translator, movement teacher

“The gathering of tribes 2022 has been amazing: a thorough experience with the power to align one’s soul, body and mind. Afro – descendents rhythms and music took primary stage in every second of the event, setting every participant at the same wavelength: meals, training, performances, rodas, spare times, breaks all of it on the beat of ‘Ngoma, the primordial drum.
The workshops level was very high, with teachers and tutors giving their own peculiar imprinting and bringing their capoeira from different corners of the world for an open, enriching exchange. The last elements to make it something truly special have been nature and food: East Slovenia features calm, embracing landscapes perfect for open air activities; I follow a plant based diet and the home cooked food and home grown veggie have been the right balanced fuel for the high intensive training.”
– Sergi Drioki (Viking), capoeirista, vice-president of a cultural foundation
