You're interested in living at Dancing Rabbit for a season or a year. You want to try out what its like to be a member of Dancing Rabbit without making the commitment or having all the responsibilities. Maybe you even have a special skill you can share or sell to the folks at Dancing Rabbit. At our retreat this year we created a new way to be at Dancing Rabbit. We found that visitors or interns that have been around awhile may feel like they've outgrown their position but aren't ready to commit to being members.
Residents have many of the rights and responsibilities of members.
They act as free agents in our local economy and can join the Dancing Rabbit Vehicle Co-op, Eating Associate Program, and rent a warren to live on. They can hold down jobs within the community or outside. They are invited to participate fully in meetings, except for the ability to block consensus decisions. We hope that this new status will allow for growth and diversity in our ranks. It can allow people to experiment with whether they can make a living for themselves here doing demolition and if they can adjust to the climate and geography before emotionally committing to making the change.
