Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for people who feel that their personal vision is aligned with ours and who see Lost Valley as a place where they can follow their heart's path and fulfill their calling in the world. We're interested in people who are committed to their own personal and spiritual growth and are well along on these paths, yet have also moved beyond a sole concern for their own growth and are ready to live, act, and work cooperatively, making a difference in the world.
 

We're looking for people who feel confident and good about themselves, have achieved a degree of emotional maturity, and can get along with others in a cooperative environment. We want people who are willing to open deeply to relationship, take full responsibility for their own feelings, beliefs, and patterns, and recognize their effect on others. They are willing to work hard to manifest what they want in the world. We do not profess to be perfect humans and we don't expect you to be perfect either. It is important to us that prospective members are willing to disclose their areas of damage or weakness and seek growth and support in strengthening these areas. 

We're not interested in people:

  • who generally feel they've been harmed, victimized, or taken advantage of by others
  • who frequently feel angry with or blame others for hurting them   
  • who are ideologically opposed to or unwilling to cooperate with the type of governance structure described on the Community Governance page
  • who have unrealistic expectations about community life

    •  

It also doesn't hurt if you're a good cook and can do a little plumbing.

Please read the article on "Unrealistic Expectations of Community and LVEC", for more insight to life in community at Lost Valley.
