Humans of Earth…
Are you ready to get seriously silly?
This Summer, we’re gathering the UK’s most pioneering playmakers for a one-of-a-kind weekend of magical, magnificent mischief!
Why This Matters...
Behind the silliness, there’s something deeper at play…
Tired of social awkwardness, self-doubt, and feeling like you don’t quite fit? We hear you. Here, you’ll swap stagnation for curiosity, sadness for laughter, and fear for freedom.
Playful workshops, tribal olympics, and fireside jams support you in relaxing into your natural awesomeness! It’s a weekend of short-term joy and long-term transformation — so you leave feeling braver, lighter, and more connected.
"We don’t stop playing because we grow old — we grow old because we stop playing."
The Very Seriously Important Plan
When you arrive, you’ll be ceremoniously inducted into one of two mighty tribes:
🐿️ The Silly Squirrels – Fast. Furious. Probably hiding snacks.
🐒 The Cheeky Monkeys – Bold. Bouncing. Probably stealing snacks.
Your mission?
Set up basecamp, dive into embodiment workshops, and form unbreakable bonds through play.
On the final day, it all culminates in…
The (Rather Ridiculous)
Tribal Olympics!
Collaboratition at its finest — that sweet spot where friendly competition meets deep collaboration.
Your tribe will jest and quest through a series of bizarre and playful challenges…
It’s not about winning — it’s about connection.
Evening Antics
As each night falls, the forest lights up…
An open jam space ignites with mesmerising performances
Then it’s your turn — step up, sing out, and share your magic
We welcome all voices. Come as you are. Express what’s alive in you.
