Archetribe

Co-living Experiment 2


This is for you if:

  • You are craving real, authentic human connection and are seeking to find your soul family.
  • You are eager to test out living in a group of people with similar values and visions, where bonding is focus.
  • You are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery with a crew of deep thinkers and reconnect with your true self, aided by archetypal systems of consciousness.
  • You are looking to heal some of your psychic wounds, with the help of intimate human interaction and support, shining light on each other's shadows.
  • You are willing to let go of negative habits and allow new, healthier habits to form.
  • You are yearning to be part of something bigger than yourself.
  • You would like to explore living in the biblical, scenic land of Sinai, complemented by visits to hotspots of ancient civilizations in the rest of Egypt.

Does the way we live and work in today’s society feel disconnected from your soul’s purpose? Are you yearning for something more meaningful, more aligned with your inner truth? Do you feel called to be part of something greater than personal goals and ambitions? What if you could embrace a new way of living, surrounded by a supportive group of like-minded individuals—people who uplift and empower one another, growing together in love and consciousness?

In this fast-paced world, we are often left with fleeting experiences. After a trip, a retreat, or a festival, we return to our separate, individualized lives. Friendships can feel surface-level—vivid during life’s high points but fading when we need them most. Even the deepest connections may lack full authenticity, as true understanding of one another requires extended periods of time together and shared experiences. Without prolonged, intentional interaction, we rarely see each other’s raw, unfiltered selves, with shadows and all.

So, what if it could be different? What if your friends could also be your family? Human beings are wired to thrive in close-knit groups, where each person’s unique presence enhances the whole. Yet, modern society has moved away from this natural way of being. Even blood relatives often live separate lives, walking individualistic paths without true connection to each other.

We believe it’s time to rediscover genuine connectiona return to the essence of community, where bonds are authentic, supportive, and enduring. As a friend of ours stated: "aloneness is bankrupt".

Imagine being part of a “family” built on real friendships, where each person is there for one another through the highs ánd lows. This vision, however, begins with a personal journey. True connection requires self-healing, and self-healing begins with self-discovery. To truly know ourselves, we must explore deeply through tools like meditation, contemplation, and archetypal systems of consciousness. These are the foundations of the journey we’re embarking on.

Hence here’s what our co-living experiments focus on:

  • Living in a small, committed group where bonds are cultivated on every level—emotional, mental, and spiritual.
  • Discovering who we are beneath wounds and societal conditioning using tools like sharing circles, meditation, and archetypal systems of consciousness, including Astrology, Human Design, and the 13:20 Dreamspell (natural time frequency).

You are invited!

We are excited to host our second co-living experiment in a nice compound in Dahab, part of the mystical land of Sinai (Egypt), holding a special allure for many, with its biblical significance and scenic beauty. Entry dates are November 15, November 29, December 20 and January 3. You have the flexibility to choose a stay of two weeks (half moon) or four weeks (full moon) initially. Extensions are possible, based on availability, specific criteria and how our time together evolves.
We follow a meticulous curation process to ensure the highest quality of participants, increasing the likelihood of a meaningful connection between you, us, and the group.
This is a playful yet thoughtful transitional journey designed for those ready to shift from 'me' to 'we,' while honoring and nurturing the 'me' within the 'we'.

Our nest

Dahab is a place that we, Chris and Shadi (the hosts), consider one of our homes, having both lived here for over a year, spread over different periods. It holds a special place in our hearts, as it's ideal for connecting with others thanks to its small scale and timeless, carefree atmosphere. It's a small town (or large village if you will) that has pretty much everything you need, with plenty of mesmerizing nature around in the form of Sinai's desert mountains and the Red Sea right beside it. The area is popular for snorkeling, scubadiving, freediving, kitesurfing, windsurfing and desert adventures. Find some of our personal photos of the area below.

What's in it for you

  • Healthy living for mind (e.g. meditation, contemplation), body (e.g. yoga, work-out) and spirit (e.g. natural time sync, connection).
  • Learning about your authentic Self through three main transformative esoteric modalities: Astrology, Human Design, and the 13:20 Dreamspell, with spontaneous guidance from Shadi as specialist with 9+ years of experience, helping you embody your galactic archetype.
  • Potentially becoming more knowledgeable about a few other archetypal systems, such as Gene Keys, Kabbalah and Spiral Dynamics—it all depends on the time and dedication everyone puts in.
  • Receiving a beautified, in-depth, personalized Human Design report, self-made with love and expertise.
  • The opportunity to join us in one or more of our organized trips, visiting highlights on Sinai's peninsula and Egypt's mainland.
  • Co-creating activities, meals and possibly our future.
  • The possibility to share your skills, knowledge, insights, feelings, thoughts and ideas with each other and be listened to, leading to synergetic, impactful undertakings that form steps towards a New Earth paradigm—to affect the collective, the tribe is an essential middle stage, after getting out of our individualized state.
  • A timeless group bonding experience, the opportunity to connect with like-minded, like-hearted, like-spirited people and the possibility to become part of our tribe in the making, or start one yourself.
  • Working on a joint income, being our own boss, giving our energy to something we actually like doing with passion, purpose and meaning [applicable only if we have a mutual agreement for you to join our team after the experiment].

The 3 possible outcomes of this experiment

  1. You realize that living in a group isn't the right fit for you. You choose to continue your journey independently, having gained more self-understanding.
  2. You see the benefits of being part of a group but feel that we or the current participants may not be the perfect match for you. You decide to keep searching for the right crew, either on your own, or by joining one of our future co-living experiments.
  3. You discover the value of group living, and there is a mutual understanding between us (the hosts), you, and potentially others that we want to move forward together. You become part of our tribe in the making.

Co-living Principles

  • We create a space free of alcohol, drugs, smoking, coffee, and meat.
  • We create a space where freedom, respect, morality and equality are core values.
  • We implement practices that enhance group cohesion, like sharing circles, authentic relating etc.
  • Other than a communal morning meditation, there is no fixed schedule. We let magic happen organically and help you shift from artificial clock time to synchronized natural time.
  • We use the archetypal esoteric systems Astrology, Human Design and the 13:20 Dreamspell (= Law of Time) on a regular basis, both in teaching and embodying them.
  • We also touch upon other esoteric systems like Gene Keys, Kabbalah and Spiral Dynamics.
  • We are dedicated to sharing at least one communal meal each day as a meaningful time of group harmonization. While our expert cook typically leads the culinary process, everyone is warmly encouraged to take the lead in preparing a meal if they wish—not as an obligation, but as an opportunity. Participation is always collaborative, with everyone pitching in to help, making cooking a shared and enriching bonding experience for all.
  • At this stage, we only allow vegetarian or pescetarian food in the house.
  • Everyone is encouraged to initiate activities that can be beneficial for the whole group. There will be room to indicate offers and needs on a daily announcement board.
  • We give priority to people who are not working on their own jobs or projects during the experiment. The freer we are, the more we can focus on bonding and the more room for spontaneity, synchronicities and play. An exception is if your project can be adopted by the whole group as a bonding practice.
