For people who want more than a visit. The Pearl is a modern eco-village in the making, with three tiers of deeper involvement - all by application.
Residency and stewardship are not abstract ideas. They look like shared meals, ordinary work, porch conversations, building projects, field walks, and learning how to hold a real place together. Over time, we hope this modern eco-village can live more and more from the land.
One week to three months. partial work trade welcome. Pricing reflects your role and contribution. A great way to see if the longer path is for you.
Apply →Three months or more. Full application, interview, reference check, trial period. Not a lifestyle choice — a commitment to a specific community.
Apply →Helping run the place. Not employment — partnership. For people called to build this, not just live here.
Conversation first →Tell us who you are, what you're looking for, and what you'd want to contribute. Our forms make it easier for all of us, combined with a real email or message.
If there's an obvious fit, Gil and/or other qualified leaders, often with at least one current resident, have a call with you. Honest in both directions.
Nobody commits to belonging here long-term without coming to rest for a few days first. You don't know until you're on the land.
30 days for short-term, 90 days for long-term. If it's working on both sides, we formalize.
Write. Tell us your story. Don't worry about polish. Community leaders read these messages personally.
