Intentional Community Visitor Weekend Application

Welcome Potential Community Members

Finding the right intentional community is about more than just location—it's about shared values, compatible living practices, and genuine connection. This Intentional Community Visitor Weekend Application helps both visitors and community members prepare for a meaningful weekend experience that explores whether communal living is the right fit.

Why This Form Works for Intentional Communities

Intentional communities—whether ecovillages, cohousing groups, or consensus-based collectives—thrive on transparency and alignment. This form facilitates that process by gathering essential information about visitor expectations, values, dietary needs, and willingness to participate in shared economy systems before arrival.

Paperform makes it easy to create welcoming, values-aligned intake forms that reflect your community's unique culture. With conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on visitor interests, and with integrated payment processing, you can collect visitor weekend fees or suggested contributions seamlessly.

Streamline Your Visitor Process

From initial inquiry to post-visit follow-up, this template helps communities:

• Screen for values alignment through thoughtful reflection questions
• Gather practical information about dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, and skills to share
• Communicate expectations around communal meals, work contributions, and consensus processes
• Manage capacity with clear dates and participation limits
• Build connection before visitors arrive by understanding their motivations

Enhance With Automation

Connect this form to your community management tools using Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically:

• Send welcome packets with directions, what to bring, and community guidelines
• Add visitors to meal planning spreadsheets
• Notify hosts and orientation coordinators
• Schedule follow-up conversations about membership pathways
• Track visitor metrics and conversion rates

Whether you're an established ecovillage, a forming cohousing community, or an urban intentional living collective, this form helps you welcome aligned visitors while maintaining the integrity of your shared values and practices.
