What Is Kindred Vibe?
LeRachel Buffkins, Kindred owner
Kindred Vibe Events creates purpose-driven gatherings designed to bring people together with intention, warmth, and meaning. Each experience is thoughtfully curated to foster connection, spark conversation, and build community in ways that feel natural, welcoming, and lasting.
Founded by LeRachel Buffkins, Kindred Vibe is rooted in years of experience producing everything from large-scale conferences to intimate community gatherings. Over time, that work revealed something deeper than logistics — a calling to create spaces where people feel seen, stories are honored, and moments become memories.
This perspective shapes Kindred Vibe’s human-first approach to event design — one that prioritizes atmosphere, flow, and the moments in between. It’s also what inspired the expansion into legacy-focused projects, where events and experiences serve as living documentation of people, culture, creativity, and impact.
Every Kindred Vibe experience is guided by shared values of connection, creativity, and care. Whether centered on wellness, storytelling, social impact, or legacy preservation, each gathering is designed to feel joyful, inclusive, and aligned with purpose.
At its core, Kindred Vibe Events exists to turn meaningful ideas into shared experiences — creating space for community, inspiration, and legacies to live on.
Let’s Vibe.
