We will gather in the ancient Mount Babadağ in Türkiye (Turkey) for Oba, Anatolian Gathering on 3-9 June 2024 at Babakamp!
This will be our third gathering in Babakamp. Singing the song of nature, we will be in touch with ourselves and mother earth. Following the Anatolian and all indigenous traditions and teachings, we believe roots in the same values.
You can join us for the entire journey of 7 days, or you can choose to participate in the first 3 nights or the last 3 nights. Also, starting from May3, single-day tickets will be available for your own tent.
Throughout the journey of OBA we will create a safe environment, a nurturing shelter and go through an individual and collective transformation. With movement and awareness workshops we will create a union with all of the children of this earth. We are stronger when we are together! That is what OBA is all about; a shelter and community.
Babakamp has various accommodation options to make you feel at home. Our wooden and stone houses have their own private bathrooms and wood burner heaters available. Our nomad houses and Baba Cabins are wonderful glamping options that use the shared bathrooms around the Babakamp area. You can also bring your own tent or caravan to enjoy nature.

Oba, Previously known as Innerception was created because the mountains attract nomads, traditional people and people who seek relation. The evolution in our name, signifies our continued dedication to foster a community that supports personal and collective growth and the integration of Anatolian traditions.
OBA holds a profound significance as it translates to “shelter” in Turkic. This name embodies the very essence of what we aim to create – a safe environment , a nurturing shelter where learning, connection and the sharing of intentional practices can flourish.
With the name OBA, we want to maintain our commitment to providing a place where each one of us can find safety and to release emotions, a dedication to fostering a community that supports personal and collective transformation and for all who seek growth.
