We are currently looking for new members to be a part of an Intentional Living Commune in Berkeley, located near University Avenue. This is a really great opportunity for a student or or person who will have time to spend tending to the property while staying here. We are hoping to organize a group of people who would be interested in helping to get this house back in running order so we can start this community as soon as possible before winter time. This is a very private, fenced-in organic garden and orchard surrounding a Willow Tree.The house is all wood,very spacious and has the capability of being a great place to share with like minded people who are motivated,honest,hardworking and seek an enlightened living environment.It would be ideal to find people who have some previous knowledge about farming/gardening/construction/Co-Op living, etc. Once the community gets going our main focus will be on multi-course vegan meals prepared every night and in the summer fresh grown veggies and fruits.The house is a short walk to the grocery store,public parks,bus lines and the BART subway system.Also only a mile away is Berkeley University campus. We are asking for only people to respond if they are serious about being a part of a shared living enviroment with peaceful individuals seeking to make a change in the community. People already involved in the porject will be meeting with new friends tommorrow night, 10/28/09 at around 7 PM to have an open house dinner. please call (510)665-5942 or email rasta420chick@yahoo.com
I'm curious if you were able to get this 'off the ground'? We are a very well established intentional community near Lake Merritt in Oakland - maybe 5 miles from you.
I'm curious about this too. I'm currently looking for a commune to live in in the east bay area. I could use some advice on how to find them, though. The only ones I've found are the ones posting on craigslist, but I'm certain there must be more. Did Willow House ever get up and running? How about your commune AlchemistGeorge, can I find out more?
well, the first place to start is at IC.org - the largest searchable database of intentional communities. If you want to find out about "my" house, visit the Oakland Morehouse website and or the website of our friends at the Lafayette Morehouse intentional community - their site talks about the philosophy we use.
