TRIBES
explanation
The Initiation Path
How the initiation path works for seekers joining a tribe.
Go to this feature →In short: When you apply to join a tribe, you start as a Seeker. The Chief defines an initiation path — a series of steps you must complete to earn full membership. Steps have different verification types and may have time limits.
The initiation path is how you prove your commitment to a tribe. Each tribe designs its own path with steps that reflect its values and training culture. Complete the path and you become a full member.
How It Works
•
Apply to join a tribe — you become a Seeker
•
Once accepted onto the path, you become an Initiate
•
Complete each step according to its verification requirements
•
Some steps must be done in order (sequential), others can be done in any order
•
Steps may have individual time limits, and the entire path may have an overall deadline
•
Once all required steps are approved, you become a full Member
Verification Types
✅
Self-report
You mark the step as complete yourself. Honor system.
📊
Auto-tracked
The platform tracks your progress automatically (e.g., log 10 workouts, make 5 tribe posts).
📸
Photo/Video Evidence
Upload a photo or video as proof. An Elder or the Chief reviews it.
🤝
Peer Vouch
Existing Proven or Elder members vouch that you have completed the step. A tribe can set a vouch threshold — enough vouches can skip the step entirely.
👁️
Elder Review
An Elder or the Chief personally reviews and approves your completion.
📝
Quiz
Answer questions to demonstrate knowledge. Questions are set by the Chief.
Step Statuses
Each step moves through statuses: Not Started, In Progress (you are working on it), Awaiting Review (submitted, waiting for approval), Complete (done), or Needs Revision (need to retry). If a step is rejected, you can retry it — the tribe sets how many retries are allowed.
If you are running out of time, you can request a deadline extension. The Chief or an Elder will decide.
Check your path progress regularly. If a step has a deadline and you miss it, you may need to request an extension or risk being removed from the path.
