Event Description

I'd like to establish a new communal home with people who are keen about living in sustainable community.

HERE is my personal vision for a house

*Move in for AUG 1st *5-6 house members *Generally west-end (Between Bathurst & Keele)

~*~Commitment to sustainable living includes

*Eating mostly organic, mostly local

*Growing food in our front/backyard garden

*Minimizing packaging on products bought; reusing items *Using eco-friendly cleaning products

*Loving and taking care of yourself, your community, the earth!

~*~Commitment to community includes

*Each housemate cooks a vegan/vegetarian meal once weekly

*Being at dinner at least 3 days/week

*Once weekly housemates check-in/meeting

*Commitment to anti-oppression framework

*Commitment to compassionate conscious communication

*House chores

*Having fun & much more!

I take these points from previous experience living in intentional community, feeling that much of this helps a house community live harmoniously.

None of this is set in stone and a group dicussion is necessary for each point. The focus of this meeting will be for the AUG 1 house with the goal of emmerging with a group of 5-6 individuals who are excited, willing and able to live together for Aug 1st; excited, willing and able to put in the time and effort that will be required to find a suitable place; excited, willing and able to commit to a collectively-decided house agreement.

I have so much more I want to share with and learn from all of you! Please come out if any/most/all of the above speaks to you and PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY to others you think are ready to commit to this (somewhat specific) vision.
