Human flourishing begins with awareness. It recognizes that well-being and a good life are not only shaped individually, but also by the cultural and socioeconomical contexts in which life unfolds. At TRYP EXPO we want to bring everybody into their fullest expression of who they are capable of being and becoming.

Autonomy arises from self-awareness and the courage to see one’s motives, to discern between impulse and intention, and to choose in alignment with one’s values and principles.

We practice radical curiosity in both senses of the term:  Radical as in going to the roots (radix) questioning assumptions and tracing ideas to their foundations & Radical as in being bold, innovative, and willing to enter new terrain.

With critical thinking, and an interdisciplinary spirit, we are a mutual space for science and lived experiences because knowledge grows best where learning is understood as a lifelong practice.

Human beings thrive when they deeply aware and connected to themselves, to each other, and to the wider web of life and this space of mutual connection, that is what TRYP EXPO aims to be.

Scientific integrity is the dimension in the centre that holds everything together and is the ground that enables connection between all actors involved scientists, practitioners, artists, institutions, and communities.

As a foundational dimension of the TRYP EXPO , the wellness hub gives every participant a practical way to plunge into cultural rituals and practical forms of human flourishing.

Creativity and art expand the boundaries of what is imaginable and can itself be a transcendental experience as it is the direct exposure to the beautiful, the sublime, the dark and the abyssal.

Since the dawn of time humans gather to create meaningful encounters and to trade with each other to strengthen community, deepen identity and renew our sense of purpose.

At TRYP EXPO, joy is our guiding principle: we work, build, research, create, and celebrate with joy at the heart of everything we do.

At TRYP EXPO, we cultivate awareness to explore boldly and welcome the unknown, but never abandon responsibility and care. A clear safety distance policy and (mental) health concept sets the frame.

Human flourishing is the practical implication of every person’s inherent worth. LGBTQ+ communities around the world contribute profoundly to culture, science, creativity, and social progress, often in the face of life threatening adversity. TRYP EXPO is a dimension for everybody with zero tolerance for intolerance.
