Some of us just need more.
A weekend adventure is fine. And you’ll find plenty of that on our Events page.
But a community of adventurous Outlanders hooked on growth and camaraderie rooted in the primordial mysteries of our ancestors is another thing altogether.
D&T Clan Cards
$100 gets you a sweet digital Clan Card and an immediate discount of 20% off all Dust and Tribe multi-day events. Discounts apply to cardholders only, but the event discount is just the beginning!
Referral Credits
Earn 10% of any multi-day enrollment fee (except events featuring family rates) as D&T credit for every referred friend or family member. Referrals must be new to D&T (no previous multi-day event participation). Earned credits are cumulative between 1/1 and 12/31, and may be used on events or merch. Credits are lost if not used by 12/31.
Gear Library
Your Clan Card allows you the option to borrow outdoor gear from our inventory for up to three days without paying rental fees (excluding backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags).
Growth
Your digital Clan Card is also where you will track your growth along Dust and Tribe’s Connecting Path from self to family, to community, and ultimately to God.
A bold claim?
Do you not see that God has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent?
Q31:20
Dust and Tribe gets you outside with other people of intention. God does the rest.
Your tenacity deserves to be honored.
Adventure Score
Each D&T multi-day event has an Adventure Score. Complete the event and earn the points which are cumulative and tracked along with your tribal rank. We all start as Aspirants:
Your Clan Card will display gems in accordance with your rank which will unlock privileges in the Dust and Tribe Discord.
Shadowbox Retrospective
Gratitude for our present moment is informed by an awareness of where we have come from and a hope for what lies ahead.
Once the rank of Master has been achieved, there is no progress without looking back, and this is the point of your Shadowbox Retrospective. You have adventured much and along the way you will have acquired not only memories and lessons, but the physical touchstones of an intentional life: a stone or an acorn top, a photograph or a journal entry, a feather, or a vial of water collected from a mountain stream. You will gather and display those things in a shadow box to share with others and to offer as a keepsake to the generations that follow.
Your Retrospective complete, you are now a Dust and Tribe Acolyte*. From here on out it is not enough to raise your Adventure Score. You need to give back. The specific manner will depend on your personal aptitudes, talents, and intentions. But in some way you will be relied upon to facilitate, to teach, and to share the fullness of what you are becoming through your deepening connection to all creation and through it, to the Creator.
And because we will then want you to hang around more than ever, your event discount also goes up 5% for each rank after Master, up to a maximum 40% event discount for our Dust and Tribe Elders!
Once you’ve purchased your digital Clan Card, you will receive an email with instructions on how to submit a photograph and a questionnaire used to populate your card.
Welcome to the Tribe!
* The rank of Acolyte may also be achieved by assuming project lead or co-facilitation roles for any Dust and Tribe multi-day outdoor event.
