Portal.Place

Membership

A new way of living, learning, building, and connecting — seasonally, in nature and in community.

Become A Founding Member Of Wells Gray Village & Network

The world is changing fast. AI, automation, and the stress of modern life are pushing people toward something more grounded, healthy, and human.

More families, creators, remote workers, snowbirds, and future-focused individuals are looking for places where they can return seasonally, build friendships, learn together, work on projects, and feel part of a real community.

Portal.Place Membership is your doorway into that new model of living.

As a member, you join the founding community shaping Wells Gray Village in Interior BC — a nature-immersive, culture-forward lifestyle destination centered around wellness, creativity, shared rhythms, and meaningful community projects. Members receive priority access to immersions, programs, gatherings, and special pricing on stays & servcies, plus early invitations to future partner locations.

This is neither a resort or not full-time housing — it’s a seasonal, community-driven lifestyle club built for the post-AI world. A place where culture, nature, and creativity come together to form traditions that deepen each year. Think of it as a cultural country club with 21st century values.

If you want a healthier seasonal rhythm, an inspiring creative basecamp, a meaningful summer destination, or a community to return to — this membership is your invitation.

Why Portal.Place?

Because it’s exactly what it sounds like — a portal to place.
A doorway into real land, real people, and real experiences in a time when life feels increasingly digital and disconnected.
