Financial Contribution

Liminal Village is part of the ReGenerativa network, a non-profit association dedicated to integral regeneration (personal, collective, and environmental).

All locations within the ReGenerativa network follow a shared protocol to:

  • Fully cover the real costs of each location (maintenance, taxes, utilities, infrastructure, stewardship, )

  • Ensure accessibility through fair and transparent contribution systems

  • Foster active participation, responsibility, and community engagement

As a non-profit association, all contributions support institutional activities. Any surplus is fully reinvested into the project.

All financial flows related to Liminal Village are fully transparent and publicly accessible via: 👉 https://opencollective.com/liminal


Membership & Access

  • Participation in events is reserved for members of ReGenerativa APS, which includes insurance coverage as required by Italian law.

  • Non-members may be welcomed as short-term visitors, contributing through a donation, in line with APS regulations.

  • Membership ensures alignment with the values, practices, and responsibilities of the network.


Contribution Formats (Open Collective)

Participation is structured through contributions on Open Collective:

  • Lunation Tickets: covering participation and contribution for approximately one lunar cycle (~1 month)

  • Phase Tickets: covering shorter stays (typically ~1 week)

These contributions support the overall functioning of the hub and replace fixed daily or accommodation pricing.

The ReGenerativa network is based on active participation and shared responsibility.

  • Emotional and relational support

  • Contributing to or initiating regenerative projects (with steward approval)

  • Offering workshops or sharing skills

Participation in social activities, circles, or workshops is generally not considered a contribution.


Accommodation & Space Use

Accommodation is not assigned through fixed pricing.

Instead:

  • Spaces are allocated by the steward(s) based on:

    • Needs of the community

    • Duration of stay

    • Level and type of contribution (financial and/or practical)

  • This allows for a flexible and fair distribution of space, aligned with the values of the network

Participants are expected to treat all spaces with care and leave them in good or better condition.


Food Commons

An optional food commons system is available.

  • Participants contribute financially and/or through involvement

  • Includes shared groceries and meals

  • Participants collaborate in:

    • Meal preparation

    • Kitchen maintenance

    • Shopping and resource management


Volunteers & Sponsors

  • Volunteers contribute more time and may receive reduced costs contribution , as agreed with the stewards

  • Sponsors contribute primarily financially and are not required to participate in daily work, though participation is encouraged


Flexibility & Governance

This framework is part of a living and evolving system.

  • Adjustments are made based on the needs of the community and sustainability of the project

  • Decisions are discussed through the governance processes of the association (circles, assemblies, etc.)

  • Members are encouraged to actively participate in improving the system

For specific needs or exceptions, micro-agreements can be made with stewards or the community, ensuring transparency and alignment with the values of ReGenerativa.
