8th Life Panama Member Application - EN
We appreciate this is a detailed application form and we feel that it is appropriate to what we're looking for: being a founding member of a unique Co-work Co-life Intentional Eco-Community is something that is worth thinking through in detail.  This is why we ask so many questions as it's part of the two-way evaluation and mutual agreement process.

Once we receive your application, we'll contact you for a video call. If you don't hear from us within 2-3 days, please send us an email reminder to eighthlifepanama@gmail.com. After the call, if we're in alignment we'll indicate your acceptance as a trial member & send you the agreements. When you decide to come, sign and return the agreements and send us a copy of your travel arrangements (check with us on availability first) and payment for the initial three-month stay. When we get that, we'll send instructions for getting here.

Thinking about the Criteria for Success article on the website - there are 6 Ingredients for creating successful communities.  How would you propose that these 6 criteria be met? *
Please tell us in as much details as you can, your vision for your ideal Community.  Where do you see that it coincides with ours, and where do you think it could be different? If you've visited other communities, which ones and how have they influenced your vision.  *
Which of these options are you interested in? Eventually the land will support us. Meantime, all options assume that you can afford the monthly expenses and otherwise support yourself (through savings, remote work, local work, and/or land-based eco-enterprises).  *
What experience, if any, do you have with Permaculture? Please share course names and facilitators.  *
Describe your experience living in community and working in groups. *
What roles have your taken in community living / group work? What do you think are the most important considerations when it comes to doing good teamwork? *
We all share each facet of the work in the Finca. Do you have any special needs in terms of physical abilities, work disposition, etc?  Please let us know about any health issues you have and what hours of the day you prefer to work, what types of work you prefer, etc. *
What would be your ideal job (what you most love doing)?  Do you already do this work or is it something you'd like to start doing?  What experience do you have for it?  (if you have various, put in order of preference) *
We want to share this project with people who, like us, have a strong commitment to living in a simple, integral, and permacultural way; who are flexible, enterprising; who have the experience and maturity to bring something useful to the project; who are free (or are freeing themselves) from addictions (there are many different ones); and who are non-dogmatic, open, and sociable.  How well does this describe you? *
We are moving toward a diet based on what's available locally and eventually to what our land offers us.  Do you have any special needs in terms of food (allergies, etc)?  Would you be willing to adapt your dietary preferences to the most sustainable local options over time? *
Please let us know what burning questions you might have - after reading the website thoroughly and keeping in mind that a lot of questions are answered as you go through the PDC and trial period on site.  *
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
