Interested persons first visit to see the community and meet members. The interested person would then fill out a membership application and meet with a membership committee. The next step is a 21 day visit, which can happen in bits, or all in one go. Following the 21-day visit, the person would meet with the whole community and, if all support moving forward, become a provisional member. The provisional period lasts for 9 months with regular check-ins. At the end of the provisional period, another meeting is help in which the person can be approved for full membership.
Everyone must agree before moving forward.
