Welcome, Future Explorer!
Explorer Membership invites you into the process and the tribe, not merely as a spectator, but as a collaborator, teammate, and fellow “community cook.”  Together we plan the ingrediants of our community and knead the dough: shaping plans, sculpting cultural traditions, and practicing collective decision-making. By the time you move in, you’ll already feel rooted—connected to your tribe, connected to the soil and the Common House kitchen, and having accomplished the act of creating your true home. This is not a “go it alone” real estate evaluation and commercial transaction.  It is an experience of becoming part of an intentional community and shaping a village together to reflect our shared dreams.

🌿 Explorer Membership:

What You Get, What You Give

  • Access to community development and explorer resources 

From special tours in Greece to sociocracy trainings and visioning sessions—learn how a thriving village is shaped.

  • Transparency & insider view

You’ll have full access to design plans, budgets, progress updates as your particpate in shaping them to reflect your vision and values and needs. 

  • Eligibility to become a Full Community Partner 

After 3 months of active participation (and visiting the land), Explorer status is the key to the door to Community Partnership and moving in as our neighbor. 

  • Mutual support for your Greece transition

What we ask of you:

 

Be Ready to Contribute​. Your presence and energy matter. We’re looking for Explorers who are excited to build something meaningful together—not just for themselves, but for the whole community

  • Attend monthly plenaries

🌿 Step 5: Begin Your Explorer Journey

🧭 Attend your 3 interactive orientations

🗓️ Join monthly Plenaries (and if Active Explorer, a circle as well). 

🎨 Participate in visioning, workshops, and community projects, including transition to Greece and community development.

🤝 Start forming real connections and help shape what we’re building together.

-----------------------​

➡️ To be eligible to apply as a Full Community Partner, you must:

 

1) Remain an active Explorer for at least 3 months, and

 

2) Visit the land and projects in Greece within a reasonable amount of time after membership given full time work or children and caretaking (expectations are as soon as possible and during the year of membership)

This ensures your connection is rooted in real relationships as well as place.

3) Transparency:  If you miss three plenaries and, as an Active Explorer, haven’t contributed meaningfully to any project (including those that directly support your values or your transition to Greece)—we’ll consider your Explorer Membership inactive.
You’ll be moved to our general mailing list as a supporter, no longer eligible for Community Partnership.

*Please know as well that while these rules are followed, we are about relationships, not rigidity.  Those who demonstrate they are one of those special people who value community will be able to talk to us if something comes up.
