IMPACTS
The membership structure has come alive through the experimentation with local and visiting volunteers and current community members who want to enjoy the space long-term.
The model is embedded in principles of True Wealth, enabling in-kind contributions to be part of the payment of the monthly fee. The names of the membership levels are grounded in the growth of a tree, in which the more closely involved members are closer to the roots and enjoy different benefits.
We also acknowledge the contribution of Native/Indigenous members in spiritual value to honour the place we're in. Recognising the value they bring in terms of culture, wisdom, spaceholding, social enrichment, and place-based knowledge.
