A private home life.
A shared possibility.
Five households helping establish the earliest culture of a regenerative community and retreat.
The proposed founding model brings together an approximately five-acre private parcel, a prepared beginning and a 5% equity position in PermOasis Retreat Ltd. Your home remains your home. The wider project creates a place for commerce, learning, hospitality and contribution around it.
This stage suits people who want to help make a place real, and who can carry the uncertainty, work and patience that come with it.

What your household still needs to plan.
Intended founding scope
A prepared beginning
- An approximately five-acre parcel, with final boundaries established through survey and subdivision.
- Legally established access appropriate to the selected property.
- A permaculture-informed building location and selective site clearing.
- A proposed 5% stock equity position, with rights defined in the shareholder documents.
- A place in the founding community and its developing commercial ecosystem.
Separate household planning
The cost beyond the founding price
- Your home design, construction and private improvements.
- Property-specific servicing, connection and operating responsibilities as agreed in writing.
- Taxes, insurance, maintenance, financing and professional advice.
- Any ongoing shared costs or obligations set out in the final agreements.
- Living costs and a realistic income plan during development.
The C$95,000 figure is not an all-in completed-home budget or a promise that the whole retreat will be funded by founder contributions. Final cost allocation and obligations need to be reviewed in the property-specific documents.

An informed next stepRead first. Talk honestly.
Read first. Talk honestly.
Commit through the proper process.
Explore the complete picture.
Read the vision, phased plan and current Founding Five Information Package. Every adult whose life would be affected should understand the opportunity and its responsibilities.
Ask questions without a payment.
An initial inquiry can clarify what is known, what is unresolved and whether a formal application makes sense for your household.
Apply for mutual review.
The existing readiness and application process leads into formal household review. A C$250 review deposit becomes payable at the stated stage, after the package and application. It is credited if you are accepted and proceed.
The review deposit is generally non-refundable once substantive review begins, subject to the published exceptions and law. It buys review work, not land, shares, a reservation or guaranteed acceptance. The recovered terms are still a counsel-review draft. This website does not accept formal applications or review-deposit payments. Check the terms status before considering the formal process.
Review the property and final agreements.
Examine the actual property, title, approvals, preparation, costs, shareholder rights, risks and written closing conditions with your own advisers. Substantial founding funds move only through the lawyer-directed transaction process.
Proceed only when the conditions are satisfied.
Land acquisition and development depend on the agreed legal, financing and project requirements. Final signed documents determine the rights and obligations of each party.
Questions worth asking
Clear answers belong beside the invitation.
Has PermOasis bought the property?
No final property has been acquired. The search remains active. Exact parcels, roads, water features, views, servicing and development timing are not settled.
Does C$95,000 include a finished home?
No. Households must separately plan and finance their dwelling and private improvements. Property-specific servicing and ongoing obligations must be reviewed before committing.
What does the proposed 5% equity mean?
It is a proposed stock ownership position in PermOasis Retreat Ltd., subject to final legal and shareholder agreements. Voting, transfer, dilution, distributions and other rights need to be understood from those documents. It does not guarantee dividends, appreciation, income or resale value.
Are the spa, lodge and retreat programmes guaranteed?
No. They are parts of a phased vision, dependent on suitable land, approvals, financing, qualified people and viable operation. Founding participation does not mean receiving every future amenity on arrival.
Are five positions still available?
The model contains five founding household positions. Remaining availability is not stated here as a live count. Ask about the current review stage and availability directly.
Can my household earn money through PermOasis?
Possible routes include appropriate employment, selling products, supplying food, teaching and independent business. Demand, qualifications, business needs and separate agreements determine what becomes available. A founding position does not guarantee earnings.
Can I run short-term rentals on my private parcel?
The current model does not permit commercial short-term rentals on private founding homesteads. PermOasis hospitality would coordinate guest accommodation elsewhere in the project.
What if the project cannot proceed?
The handling of significant founding funds must be set out in the written trust and closing arrangements before transfer. Do not rely on a website summary as an unconditional refund promise. The review deposit has separate published terms.
Do I have to join spiritual practices or share my income?
No spiritual practice is required. Private finances, households and personal boundaries remain distinct. Shared responsibilities and any commercial arrangements belong in clear agreements.
