Barefoot TRIBE

Join the fun

If you want to try out a new experience, learn a new skill, meet some new people, share something you love doing, get out and about in nature or practice your social confidence… then you've come to the right place!

All Barefoot tribe events are run and hosted by kind, everyday women who invite you to do something fun together—whether that's a stroll around the park, a game of barefoot bowling, or just a coffee and a chat. There's always a spot in the tribe with your name on it!

If you would like to see what the tribe has planned for the next few weeks, check out our calendar below. If you find something that interests you, click on the link to find out more information or message The Tribe via the Contact Us page.

If you need any assistance or encouragement to attend any of the events, you can always chat with one of the team members. Our team are some of the friendliest women you could ever meet, and they’re here to support you in exploring your community connectedness. They’ll be your thinking partners and biggest cheerleaders, helping you connect with new people and experiences!

A Community of Connection and Empowerment

The Barefoot Tribe is more than just a group; it's a community.

We’re here to help you start your friendship journey. It all begins with showing up at events, meeting new people, and being brave enough to start a conversation. Whether you're sharing your hobbies, having a cuppa with a new friend, or exchanging fresh eggs from your chooks, we’re excited to help you find your people and create meaningful connections.

As a member, you're encouraged to take the reins by creating your own events and activities. Want to catch some waves? Feel free to post in the surf tribe and invite others along or post in the Craft Tribe inviting others to join you in some resin pouring – the possibilities are endless!

Our monthly gatherings, held on the first Wednesday of every month at the local Surf Club in Coffs Harbour, offer a relaxed space for women to mingle and connect. Whether you're new to the area or a long-time resident, these morning teas are a perfect way to meet others without the pressure of committing to a specific event. It’s a welcoming introduction to the group, where you’ll see familiar faces and feel more comfortable participating in future events. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s create a community where everyone feels supported and celebrated!

I FOUND MY PEOPLE!!!!

I will forever be grateful for everything you girls do!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

There are no costs, sign-up fees, or paperwork to get involved with The Barefoot Tribe. It’s been deliberately designed to be easy, informal and as “not scary” as possible!

Anyone is welcome to attend an event, and anyone is welcome to host one (we can support you with this as we know if it might feel a bit scary, don’t worry!). The point is, this is a space for women.

All events are held in public spaces like cafes and local beaches, they’re usually free (except for the cost of the activity). All events are listed below, where you can find dates, times, details, and venue information, and you can reach out to the group Host for any information about the gathering.

All of the best community projects, groups and initiatives started off as an idea – from Community gardens to Buy Nothing groups.

These wonderful initiatives began as something small. Community life can’t happen without people like you offering up ideas to bring people together.You might be an online gamer, looking for a digital community, or perhaps you’re passionate about conscious living and want to initiate a local clothes exchange.

Every single person on the planet has something unique to offer the world. The possibilities are infinite and at the centre of all of them is you, and the things you want to share with others.

We know that putting yourself out there to meet new people isn’t easy and it can feel a bit scary to try new things! Trust us when we say it’s a totally normal feeling and we’ve all been there.

That’s why, 12 years ago, we founded The Barefoot Tribe.

It’s a free and fun social community that’s been deliberately designed to make it a little easier to connect with like-minded womxn and make a few friends.

This warm community is filled with every day people just like you, who host and attend different open-invite social experiences.

That’s right, all tribes and events are hosted openly on the community calendar and anyone can attend! All you need to do is be brave, turn up and be yourself!
