Earthbound as a living community
We are now around 10 people living long term at Earthbound. In the future we plan to be around 30 adults, but we want to grow slowly and organically.
Currently, we are not open for new applicants, due to receiving a lot of interest and having a long waiting list. Whenever that’s gonna change we’ll announce it here and on our social media! But you’re still very welcome to get familiar with how we live together and how the joining process looks like.IN SHORT, AS PART OF LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY YOU WOULD BE:
- Living in Earthbound as your permanent residency
- Taking an active part in the community including decision making, working groups and community work
- Encouraged to take part in community activities such as common dinners, community processes and events
- Paying a monthly fee to the community
- Co-owning and stewarding Earthbound and the land
- Dedicated to our mission and vision
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO BECOMING A MEMBER?
The social cohesion of the living community is essential to making Earthbound a reality and to realize its potentials and impacts. That is why we have designed a multi-step joining process where we, with time and slowness, can truly sense whether it is the right match on both sides.
Membership Process includes:
Learning about Earthbound through our documents, information meetings etc.
Filling out the membership questionnaire (closed for now)
An initial call with the membership working group
A visit to Earthbound for Community Days
2 phases of long-term living with us; an initial 3 months and then another 6 months integration
During this time, learning about the Les Pas-Sages model (webinars)
Becoming a shareholder and putting an initial investment into the project
Signing a "right-of-use" contract
