Team Leaders
During gatherings the team leaders coordinate co-creators. Teams include Cooking Food, Serving Food, Dishwashing, Buildup, Build down, Cleaning, Space Holders, Bar, Decoration. Additional teams can be created depending on the circumstances and the nature of the event. Team Leaders communicate regularly and directly with core staff or the founders.

Co-creators
Members that dedicate some of their time and energy to serve the community. Similar to karma yoga. Each co-creator has their own specific responsibilities which are coordinated and overseen by team leaders. In case of disagreement core staff or the founders can come to aid to find harmony and new solutions.

Artists and Facilitators
People that offer workshops, dance meditations, music, ceremonies and other activities that are part of our practices. These people are invited to gatherings by founders and/or core staff. Artists and facilitators are also very welcome to join Salmagundi, but do not need to in order to offer their expertise, art, activity or workshop.
