# Become a Lab | Syntrociety

For cooperatives, communities, and intentional projects already on the ground. Six reasons, what stays yours, what it costs, and who this is not for.

## § For whom You are already building something.

This page is not for people thinking about starting a community. It is for people who have already started one. A cooperative on land. A community in a building. A regenerative project with members and a track record. The question you are weighing is not should we exist, but are we better off alone or in a federation.

Syntrociety is a federation of Syntropic Living Labs. Each Lab is sovereign over its own land, members, governance, and finances. What binds the federation is a shared charter, a shared practice, and shared infrastructure that no single Lab would build alone.

What follows is the case.Six concrete reasons,what stays yours, what it costs, and an honest paragraph on who this is not for. If you read all of it and feel nothing, that is information.

## § How it begins Three steps, roughly twelve weeks.



### 01 — A real conversation. (Weeks 1 to 4)

You write to the federation, describing what you have built and why federation is on your mind. We come visit your Lab, or you come visit Sulitânia, or we meet online if that is all that fits. No pitch. A conversation about your work and ours.

*No fee · No commitment*

### 02 — Read the charter. (Weeks 5 to 8)

You read the charter, the practice, and the existing handbook. You meet with current Council. You discuss it within your Lab. You decide whether the five principles fit what you are building, or whether they would force a shape that is not yours.

*Decision rests with your Lab*

### 03 — Sign and begin. (Weeks 9 to 12)

Your Lab signs the charter, registers a first decision in Council, and begins onboarding to the registration trail. The federation publishes your Lab page. You are now a member. From day one, the thirty-day portability also applies.

*Charter signing · First Council*

## § 08, When you are ready Begin with a conversation.

Write to us. Tell us what you have built and why federation is on your mind. We will respond within a week with a few questions and, if it fits, an invitation to talk.

You are not signing anything by writing. You are opening a conversation about whether your work and ours belong in the same field.
