• We are a small group, collaborating to create a home where our spirits are nourished and inspired. In our first meeting, these were some elements of the vision that emerged:

-a feeling of family, of mutual support and acceptance -nonjudgment that comes with intimacy - honesty - ease -shared food - big jars of spices - meals together - no names on anything -a sense of sanctuary - warm, inviting, comfortable for anyone who enters -"a place to practice being the person I want to be in the world" -green space - nature - a garden -openness to different forms of spiritual practice and expression -people interested in growing, changing - helping one another to transform -music, dance, art -freedom to bring home guests, friends, partners -a multigenerational household (?) -home as the central part of one's social life - spending time together -balance between masculine and feminine - btwn. discipline and intuitive flow

• If that sounds like the life for you, then contact us. Tell us about your experience in shared housing generally, and about your various interests; and ask any questions you like. Our hope is to find a house or flat and settle in by the Fall of 2008.

Thank you. -Ari
