Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself

Hello again! Before you apply for membership, we would like to share with you the characteristics of our desired members and the application process. The aim is to help you set the right expectations and to ensure a mutual fit.
Like any village, we want to keep our community vibrant and supportive. We would like to invite members who bring positive energy, have self-awareness, demonstrate good values and respect our shared community space.
This is an intimate community and will remain so regardless of its size. We value member quality more than quantity. We want each new member to feel welcome and at home, and to be delighted for joining as we are in welcoming you. Therefore, we would like you to make your decision as mindfully as we are selective.
We encourage you, as a new member, to be authentic, to make mistakes and to learn from them. Nobody expects you to be perfect at anytime. However, aligning with our purpose, values, and approach is important. This means
You know you are the creator of your life. You come to the village to learn and to practice how to take charge of it
You recognize that you have plenty of untapped potential to explore and to discover
You are here to transform yourself instead of changing others
You commit to taking responsibilities for your thoughts, feelings and actions
You embrace positive values both inside and outside of the Teal Village
Your willingness to make progress consistently is far more important than your current starting point. If you resonate with our purpose, values and approach, then we invite you to a journey with us, where we self-discover, heal, grow and raise consciousness together. Teal Village is designed as a safe space for members to gain self-awareness, to raise consciousness and to create lives, projects or businesses in a supportive environment. You are encouraged to experiment, fail, get up, reflect, learn and try again. The more effort you put in, the more you get out, and the sooner you create a life of peace, joy, and fulfillment.
Once you join, we would like you to make the most out of your membership, respect the space – our shared home – and be considerate of the effort required to welcome you into the family. Our volunteer hosts are giving their personal time to bring new members onboard, so you can find your way around and connect with other members quickly.
If this appeals to you and you would like to join us, please complete the Application Form by answering 5 short questions. We look forward to welcoming you inside the village soon.
