Stage One · Membership
Become
an Explorer Member
Explorer membership is the structured first stage of joining Greek Village Cohousing — an active participation period where you learn, contribute, build real relationships, and find out whether this is the life you want to build.

What is Explorer Membership?
Explorer membership is the first "Intentional community" Step to a a More Connected, Resilient Life.
--It is also the bridge between dreaming of a life in Greece and actually living it.
The community-led housing movement began in Denmark with a belief that village isn’t just built from stone and mortar, but from mutual support, mutual fun and celebration, a common vision and values, community service, good governance, and intentionality for a a life shared.
Explorer membership is a successful, time-tested cohousing tradition, and a great way to begin.
Cohousing is not traditional real estate. Cohousing is community-led in formation, and Explorer membership immerses you in the concept of intentional community. This membership is the door through which you are eligible to invest and live in our village.
It’s a low-risk, high-immersion stage designed to answer your biggest question: 'Is this my future home?'. Instead of just buying a house and hoping for the best, you join the co-creators. You’ll help shape our community culture, walk the land in Greece, and begin to form the deeper friendships that make a place feel like home long before you move in.
As an Explorer, you get to:
Influence the Vision: Join our sociocratic circles and have a real say in how the village is governed and designed.
Walk the Land: Participate in member site visits and layout workshops in Greece to feel the literal ground beneath your feet.
Build the Social Fabric: Start forming the deep friendships that make cohousing feel like home long before the first door is opened.
Gain Clarity: Through orientations and practical previews, you’ll understand exactly what to expect—no 'purchase promises,' just honest exploration.
It’s also the stage where friendships start to form, ideas get tested in real life, and you begin to feel the spark of “this could be home.

How to become an Explorer Member
Cohousing is not for everyone — and that is not a criticism. Take our self-scored questionnaire to honestly assess whether this way of living fits your values, temperament, and circumstances before going further.
BOOK AN INFORMATION COFFEE WITH EVI
A one-on-one online conversation where you learn about the projects, the community's current stage, and what Explorer membership involves. Your membership dues window opens from this conversation.
EMAIL EVI WITH YOUR INTEREST IN BECOMING AN EXPLORER MEMBER
GreekVillageCohousing@gmail.com
A short form telling us which working circle interests you. Optionally, a Community Resume — your background, skills, and what you hope to contribute to village life.
MAKE A GOOD FAITH EXPLORER MEMBER CONTRIBUTION
