Avebury Tribe Constitution

The Avebury Tribe exists to encourage cooperation, communication and mutual support between the many individuals, groups and traditions that gather in and around Avebury.

We recognise that people follow many different spiritual, cultural and philosophical paths. The Avebury Tribe does not seek to govern those paths, establish authority over them, or impose uniformity upon them.

Our guiding principle is: Many Paths, One Shared Ground.

The Avebury Tribe is:

• A community initiative.
• A network of individuals and groups.
• A platform for communication and cooperation.
• A supporter of living heritage.
• A promoter of mutual respect.

The Avebury Tribe is not:

• A religious authority.
• A governing body.
• A Druid order.
• A political organisation.
• A replacement for existing groups, orders, groves or traditions.

Members and supporters are asked to uphold:

• Respect for others.
• Respect for the landscape.
• Respect for differing beliefs.
• Personal responsibility.
• Peaceful conduct.
• Community cooperation.

Membership is open to anyone who supports the principles of the Avebury Tribe.

Membership may be suspended or removed where conduct repeatedly undermines the safety, wellbeing or purpose of the community.

The Avebury Tribe seeks wherever possible to operate through discussion, consultation and consensus.

No individual, title or organisation has automatic authority over the Avebury Tribe.

This constitution may be amended as the community develops.

Any amendments should remain consistent with the founding principle of unity without uniformity.
