Joining the Community

JungleGuys is not an experience to consume. It is a place to build, maintain, and care for — with others — over time.

Who this is for

JungleGuys is open to everyone. We are especially committed to welcoming LGBTQ people and to making this a safe, inclusive space.

• You want a long-term life project, not a short season.
• You accept physical work and practical learning as normal.
• You can live with imperfect conditions while improving them patiently.
• You value calm communication, reliability, and shared responsibility.

Who this is not for

• You expect comfort, speed, or a turnkey setup.
• You want to “escape” life without facing yourself and others.
• You avoid conflict by disappearing, or create it by dominating.
• You are looking for followers, staff, or a personal stage.

What we ask

• Respect for the land and local context.
• Participation in shared work (maintenance, food, building).
• A mature approach to conflict, privacy, and consent.
• Sobriety: energy, waste, resources, and expectations.

The process

1. First conversation — message + short call.
2. Written application — skills, motivations, limits, needs.
3. Trial stay — short, structured, evaluated both ways.
4. Longer stay — deeper integration and responsibilities.
5. Membership decision — collective, explicit, documented.
