ABOUT RORO
STORY OF RORO TRIBE
The Roro Tribe appeared in Roro's, Elif's dreams one November night in 2021.
It was just after the pandemic, during a time when the global order was undergoing significant change. Roro began feeling disconnected from any community, questioning life's purpose, and struggling to find belonging and understanding within the confines of a stereotypical entertainment system.
Was there a way to engage in a system that offered greater awareness, experiences, and sheer enjoyment? An immersive, innovative, dynamic, avant-garde, creative, loving, joyful, and delightfully unconventional system?
Answering this call, Roro Tribe unveiled its imaginative realm to serve others, launching in Barcelona on March 27, 2022.
Roro crafts stories to nurture the roots of your passions, allowing them to flourish into that distinctive essence that defines you - the "you" that is unlike anyone else, and fortunately so.
These stories may span a few hours or unfold as spaces for deeper exploration over 3-4 days.
This diverse range blends various encounters, from vibrant colors, evocative scents, and mindfulness activities to workshops and art performances, fostering a thriving international Roro Tribe.
It's a place to connect with kindred spirits,
to socialize without feeling isolated,
to embrace acceptance over judgment, to embrace experiences
and learn from repeated mistakes,
to shed tears and share laughter,
to savor lingering embraces from fellow hug enthusiasts,
to inspire and be inspired, and to unite as one.
How beautiful it is to seek reasons to love.
