Who your land mates are: Professional, eco-conscious living folks into nature, holistic living, art, authentic relating, the pursuit of community-based mindfulness and living life with awareness. Owner is BIPOC. What we are looking for in our home community: Someone who enjoys conscious living, is an open communicator, has moved beyond the party life, low-maintenance and considerate. A sense of positive humor in this chaotic world is a plus! Though we live separately and respect boundaries, we are hoping to find those who are warm, friendly, communicative and who enjoy engaging. Gardeners welcome as we have a shared yard and loads of sunlight! Everyone chips in with raking leaves in fall, shoveling snow in winter, weeding in spring, watering in summer (though most things are on a drip line.) This is a home with smell sensitivities so no synthetic scents please. This includes laundry detergents since the washer and dryer are shared. We do burn incense. No smoking on premises.
