Cornerstone Members

Apply to be a Builder.

Builders are practitioners whose craft holds a corner of the house — bodyworkers, therapists, gardeners, writers, poets, makers, teachers. Being a Builder is not a title. It is a role.

Builders bring capital and craft — typically $10K–25K, or $5K + in-kind contribution of equivalent value. Money alone does not buy a seat. Admission is by application and Board review. The cohort is curated for complementarity, not exclusivity. We may welcome more than one practitioner in a given craft if it serves the membership. We do not promise business or exclusivity — what we offer is standing, voice, and the chance to shape a place worth being part of.

e.g. "master gardener", "somatic therapist", "fiction writer", "general contractor", "ritual leader"

A description of your practice and how it would serve the Chez 600 membership. (up to 500 words)

How often, and in what form, would you contribute? Sessions? Workshops? Hosting? Garden tending? Teaching? (up to 200 words)

What does being a cornerstone of this house mean to you? (up to 300 words)

Portfolio, practice site, Instagram, published writing — whatever shows your craft. (optional)

Applications are reviewed by the Chez 600 Board of Directors. Cornerstone members are admitted because their craft fills a corner the house needs and because they commit to actively contribute it to the community. Your craft is shared, not sold. Discretion is expected. Hard selling or pitching to members is not tolerated.
