Our “household” (which occupies three adjacent homes) is relatively large and diverse in age (23-89), occupation (see paragraph above), and facilities (workshop, music room, home gym, yoga/dance studio, outdoor porches and yards). We’ve exceptional opportunities to generate satisfaction at home, even if interactions in the world beyond again become pandemic or otherwise limited. One of us is a is a certified yoga instructor; another is a social dance enthusiast; others are musicians with 10-55 years of experience. All of us share skills freely.
We’re looking for a responsible, intellectually curious person who feels grateful to be alive and is enthusiastic about contributing to common good. Our watchwords are: learn, serve, and enjoy. If friends and family tell you you’re warm, open, and fun-loving, you’ll fit well here.
Each of us has her or his own room. Fees are $1400-1700 /month (times 1.5 if shared) plus a $10/month parking fee if you own a car. Utilities, nightly shared suppers, and basic household supplies with an estimated value of $300-600/month (varies with participation) are included.
Most of us gather nightly at 7pm for supper. Smaller groups often prepare and eat breakfast or lunch together. Each person contributes 4.5 hours/week to keep households clean and orderly, to dinner preparation and clean-up, and to other community tasks. We’ve included photos with this listing to provide a visual sense of our pleasant, clean, orderly physical and social environment.
We founded our community and an associated public service organization nearly fifty years ago with the purpose of working together for health—our own and others’, cooperation—within the community and in the world beyond, and environmental stewardship—evidenced by our own everyday actions and by our service projects and advocacy. If you think you’ll enjoy creating community with us, please be in touch.
Please Note: Out of respect for residents with allergies and other sensitivities we are a smoke-free and pet-free community.
