Book a sessionChichi and Drew are The Loving Collaborative. Love, birth and death were never meant to be faced in isolation — they believe it takes a village to be human, a village to raise children, care for elders and cope with grief. Our ancestors knew this; humanity has always known how to take care of each other. The Loving Collaborative is here to help us remember — to break old patterns, rebuild our sovereignty and co-create the culture and connection we all deserve and thrive in. This is not idealism; it is ancient technology, practical lore applied to today. Through music, dance, art, ritual, food, skill sharing, family care and of course a damn good boogie, TLC sparks the inspiration to find our way back to each other as a sentient society.
Hannah supports women through the identity shift of becoming a mother, drawing on her training as a somatic psychotherapist and perinatal therapist alongside her own early motherhood. She believes this transformation deserves to be understood, not brushed aside.
Eva is a nervous system-informed parent educator, photographer and mother of two. Her work looks at how our nervous systems shape connection and stress at home, and she believes lasting change comes from small, intentional steps rather than doing everything at once.
Darius Ryan-Kadem is a parenting author, educator and coach whose work centres on the parent's own emotional regulation rather than the child's behaviour. He teaches firm but kind: the steady limit and the warm, attuned presence held in the same breath.
Robyn holds the womb sauna with fluidity and no agenda. Expect gentle guidance, some stillness, and the particular kind of truth that tends to arrive when a group of women sit together in the heat.
Ahau of Root of the Gods returns to KIND to share the making of the Panhuehuetl, a traditional shamanic hand drum from Northern Mexico. Each element carries deep symbolism, so the craft becomes a ceremonial journey rather than a workshop alone.
Dani works with story, food and dance as ways back to something most of us feel we have lost. Her sessions are not only for children: communal food preparation resonates no matter where you are from, and reminds us of the ancient ways.
Shannon van Staden is the co-founder of Aki Sound Studio in Brussels, a sanctuary where sound is not just heard but felt. She has spent years exploring the intersection of harmonic resonance, energy healing and somatic transformation through alchemy bowls.

George is a co-creator of the KIND Family Gathering, which he and Georgiana run while raising their daughter Rise in Portugal. He started his first company fifteen years ago and has been building AI products ever since: he turned down Google to co-found Visii, a visual search engine years ahead of today's AI wave, and holds four US patents in visual AI. He still works as a fractional CTO, dropping into teams to build what AI is genuinely useful for and leaving them able to run it themselves. Festival and technology share one through-line for him: tools should buy back time for what matters most, for family, community and the natural world. The gathering is where that belief becomes real, with more presence, more play and more time offline together.

Georgiana and George are the creators of the KIND Family Gathering, living in Portugal for eight years with their daughter Rise.
