Zenista Application

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!

We are so excited that you want to help out at Zen Loft!

We are a women-owned business collective of wellness professionals, artists, musicians, and other creatives.
We opened in April of 2016 and are located in the heart of downtown Aurora.
We welcome ALL respectful, peace-loving humans to apply.

Whether you want to hold space for open hours and give tours, volunteer in the shop, earn extra income hosting a community event, or help us out at a festival, with a project, or advertising--there is some fun way that you can participate!

Depending on your level of involvement, Zenistas can earn credits toward services, space rental, or products in our shop.

Instead of "volunteering," we would love for you to find a way to use the space to earn some extra income and collaborate with others within the collective.
Together, we can create greater sustainability and stability for ourselves, our families, and within our communities.

Please fill out this form and read more about what we do and what your options are, then text Emily at (630) 465-5638 to let her know that you're interested in becoming a Zenista!

We will contact you soon to go over your responses and availability (there's a Zenista for that, too!). If you'd like to just come in after you fill this out, there is always something to do. And we have snacks!

To volunteer specifically at First Fridays, please fill out this form:

First Fridays Zenista Application

To volunteer exclusively in our metaphysical shop, please fill out this form and text Maria Saltijeral at (331) 257-8585 to let her know.

Thank you so much for applying!

Zen Loft is a Safe-Zone for ALL people. We are a welcoming, inclusive, and safe place for people of color, queer, trans and non-binary people, and we respect all races, religions, colors, and creeds. Informed consent of everyone around us at Zen Loft is our highest priority. By applying, I agree to these terms of membership and promise to treat everyone I encounter at Zen Loft with kindness and respect both in and outside of the studio. *

I agree to the above statement.

Zen Loft has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for consent violations. This includes, but is not limited to, hate speech, hierarchical posturing, body shaming, racism, ageism, ableism, sexism, misogyny, or anything else that we might deem inappropriate or distasteful. As a collective, our behavior in and outside of Zen Loft reflects upon that of the whole. If you have had conflicts around consent in other communities, you must disclose this information and do your part to make amends. You understand that if you do not abide by the universal rules of inclusivity and consent both in and outside the space, you will be approached and will lose your membership privileges and the opportunity to attend future events at Zen Loft. *

I agree to the above statement

What would you like to receive for your help? (If it's not listed, please tell us in the comments)

Our Zenistas help us stay open! "Space holding" doesn't necessarily mean "volunteering" -- we would much rather you find a creative way to pay yourself during your time here. Whether that's by making and selling a craft, networking with the other collective members, offering professional services, or creating community events and keeping 50% of the donations, we welcome all of your great ideas for sustainability. Zen Loft has five beautiful spaces that each offers a different vibe. We encourage people to spend time in each room and see what calls to you.

Pizza party with friends

Space rental (normally $20/hr or 3 hrs for $50 per room)

Commission on shop sales over a certain amount (talk to Maria, the shop owner)

More of a percentage from your community event (50/50 split as it stands)
