Welcome Circle
The Welcome Circle is the heart of hospitality in the International Permaculture CoLab. We create pathways for connection, orientation, and engagement—so members feel seen, supported, and empowered to participate.
What we do…
-
Onboarding & Induction: Hosting monthly onboarding calls and one-on-one welcome chats to help new and returning members find their footing. Please check the journey into the CoLab.
-
Platform Stewardship: Managing our communication tools (like Slack) to keep them clear, welcoming, and functional for everyone.
At the moment as part of the Next Steps Project we are also:
-
Community Gardening: Cultivating conversations that spark collaboration across Circles and projects.
-
Skills Database: Maintaining and improving access to a community-wide map of members’ skills and offerings.
-
Resource Creation: Developing guides and visual resources like the How CoLab Works series to support orientation and engagement.
We’re here to tend the social soil so the ecosystem can grow strong and rooted. 🌱
The team can be found on the CoLab slack space in the #welcome-circle channel.
Ongoing Project
Our team has secured a grant for three years to fund our work, you can read more about it here.
We are an open Circle
