What is a "season" at Conscious Homestead?
At Conscious Homestead the season begins each year in May and concludes each April, with the homestead closed annually each December and January.
In 2021, Conscious Homestead had a "soft launch" season that began in June and ended in October. In 2022, Conscious Homestead will be re-opening its space for its first full season beginning in late May with our annual Opening Harvest Celebrations. During the months of December and January the homestead closes for rest, reflection, visioning and planning. Every February Conscious Homestead reopens its space, services and offerings to the community. The close of each season is honored with space for collective reflection and planting seeds together in community for the coming season.
Simply put, Conscious Homestead season begins in May and ends in April. Each year, during the months of December and January, the homestead is closed. This is what determines our seasonal rates and calendar of events.

Memberships Details
The Process for Becoming a Volunteer Member:
1) First, decide on which volunteer membership you can commit to; SEED, SPROUT, BLOSSOM or POLLINATOR.
2) Secondly, fill out the volunteer form and set up a time for your volunteer orientation.\
3) Thirdly, upon completion of your volunteer orientation you will be onboarded as a volunteer member. You will receive two communications; one regarding membership benefits with your personalized membership codes and the second communication regarding your account with our work space booking system to enable you to reserve workspace at the homestead during our weekly workspace hours.
4) Lastly, you will receive monthly communications via email from Candace regarding opportunities for volunteering each month. You will receive details about each opportunity for volunteering at the homestead each month and you'll be able to sign up for your volunteer shifts for that month in advance. Each membership has its own set number of volunteer hours per month, use that information to determine how many opportunities you sign up for per month to fulfill your membership.
Violating the homestead boundaries and guiding principles as well as not honoring your required volunteer hours per month will result in a suspension of your membership.

You can rent space at the homestead at a discounted rate, not your best friend. You can purchase a discount on tickets to our events, merchandise and botanica products; not your cousin. You can reserve the homestead work space to rest, create, move your body or just be, not your sibling. In this example its not that your best friend, cousin or sibling aren't welcome to homestead, its that they would either need to obtain a membership themselves or pay the general (sliding scale) rates for offerings at the homestead.
