What It Means to Be a Member
Membership in the Conscious Living Collective is a commitment to co-creation, mutual care, and shared responsibility.
Each member contributes to the wellbeing of the village through service, skill, presence, and integrity.
Membership is not simply joining a community — it is joining a living ecosystem where every role matters and every person is needed.
The Purpose of Member Roles
Our roles ensure the community functions smoothly, sustainably, and with harmony.
They help us distribute responsibilities, prevent burnout, and allow each person to offer their gifts where they are most aligned.
Roles also determine:
– Where a person contributes their 40 service hours/month
– Where training or apprenticeship may be needed
– How we cooperate on daily life, maintenance, healing, and growth
As the community grows, new roles will be added based on future needs.
Joining the Community & Role Requirements
Membership begins with alignment — of heart, purpose, and skill.
Before joining:
– Residents complete an application
– Provide skills and interests
– Undergo our compatibility process (astrology + psychological fit)
– Complete a 3-month trial
– Participate in orientation and safety training
Roles are assigned based on:
– Community needs
– Skill level
– Personal preference
– Availability
– Wellness and capacity
Members may request a new role each season or rotate depending on community needs.
