Take the time to learn more about our community, our mission, and our values. Understand the essence of off-grid living, self-sufficiency, and collaborative practices that define us.

Attend our community events, workshops, and open houses to get a firsthand experience of life within our community. These events provide an opportunity to meet current residents and gain insights into our lifestyle.

If you resonate with our vision and are eager to join, you can start the selection process. This typically involves spending time within the community as a visitor or temporary resident. During this period, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in our way of life and for us to get to know you better.

After spending time with us, you can express your interest in becoming a permanent member. Our community operates as a close-knit family, and decisions about new members are made collectively. The core group, along with other community members, participate in the decision-making process to ensure a harmonious fit for all.

We encourage like-minded individuals to volunteer within our community. Volunteering is a mutually beneficial opportunity that allows both parties to determine if they are a good fit for our way of life. As a volunteer, you'll have the chance to experience our daily routines, collaborate on projects, and get a taste of off-grid living. It's an excellent way to understand if Nature’s Refuge aligns with your long-term goals and values.
