Vita has a flat organizational structure based on chapters that are referred to as Pods (as in a pod of whales).
There are two types of Pods: a single Foundation Pod, and (potentially, many) Complimentary Pods.
Foundation Pod establishes Vita Doctrine, and the Complimentary Pods structure themselves to follow these guidelines. Foundation Pod also administers the corporate structure of Vita which is an Australian public company limited by guarantee and registered charity, and produces collateral and merchandise (e.g. Quenants and books).
While some aspects of Vita are fixed and rigid (i.e. the belief in Vitae-planeta), the structure encourages diversity, much like ecosystems vary greatly across a landscape. This diversity seeks to encourage people to innovate Vita to find ways for the spiritual philosophy to rapidly spread whilst maintaining core integrity.
Complimentary Pods are not intended to cover specific geographical areas, but are to be founded by willing participants who enroll people from their networks. Thus, one could conceivably have multiple Pods in a single town.
If you are interested in establishing a Complimentary Pod, please contact Vita: vitaeplaneta @ gmail . com for the guidelines.
