I’m looking for 1-3 new housemates to join our small intentional community starting July 1.
About the Home:
– Cozy 3 bedroom house within walking distance of downtown Monrovia
– Large water-wise garden with grey waters systems and our own compost (shared with another small house at the back of the property)
– Shared living spaces that support both connection and quiet. This includes an outdoor shower, outdoor bathtub, and the nicest comport toilet. (Don’t worry, we also have an indoor bathroom with a shower).
– Conscious, grounded, respectful, fun-loving sober-minded household
Available Rooms:
– Small room with closet and private full bathroom ($1100) – unfurnished
– Larger room with large closet, suitable for an individual or a couple, shared bathroom with me/guests ($1100 single / $1500 total couple) – could be furnished or unfurnished
DEPOSIT $1100/pp
We would split all utilities equally (water, trash, electricity, gas, wifi).
Looking for 6-12 mo lease, but open to shorter for the right situation.
Ideal Housemates:
– Living a conscious lifestyle
– Value community, connection, communication, and sharing occasional meals
– Excited about growing food and sustainable living (no experience needed, though some would be ideal!)
– Also appreciate autonomy, personal space, and privacy
We’re not just sharing rent—we’re cultivating a way of living together intentionally. I’m looking for more sober-minded folks with a certain level of maturity, humor, and grace. The garden/food forest is a big part of community life and I’m looking for folks who are excited to bring their expertise, or to learn together, to nurture and cultivate this space together.
About Me:
I am inheriting this rental from my current housemates who are all moving out to pursue more larger-scale farming back east. I am a 40 something spiritual entrepreneur who works from home. I have a 5 yo cat who does best as the only animal. My partner lives in Escondido and he comes up 1-2 weekends/month, and I head down there 1-2 weekends/mo. He smokes tobacco away from the house when he visits. He’s a tech guy, musician, and good-natured geek who loves MtG and DnD.
I am sober and substance-free (not in recovery, just prefer living clean and clear). I am also mostly plant-based and sensitive to chemicals. I am a counselor and intuitive coach, and I facilitate ecstatic and sacred dance, love music, random dance parties, sharing meals, and getting to the beach as often as possible.
This property is unique. It’s an urban oasis near downtown Monrovia in a sweet little neighborhood. The property has 2 houses – the one I’m in with the 3 total bedrooms, and a smaller 2 bedroom house in the back occupied by a family with a teen and 6 yo. We share the garden space and also weave community together. There is also an outdoor open-air building that we share with them.
If any of that resonates, please reach out with a little bit about yourself, your lifestyle, and why you’re interested in this space.
Looking forward to connecting with you!

Hi! We are “The Experiment,” a small, intentional community striving to center personal and collective development. We are based in Monrovia, CA and are comprised of anywhere from 8-10 residents and always many more friends and neighbors. We work together to craft more supported lives that center nourishment and connection! In this spirit, we come together to share the beauty of being and often open the space for joyous and open-hearted gatherings with our broader communities. Day to day, we aim to hold and support one another in our ups and downs seeking to honor and transform the domestic sphere.
In the spirit of this, we have a large, water-wise garden that provides us with food, medicine, and companionship. We share meals, social time, and spiritual practices. What unites us at The Experiment is a shared belief in the pursuit of the capacity to serve the greater good. Together, we build this capacity through a focus on nourishment arising from both our domestic space and the food we eat. Part of our broader mission is to invigorate the re-discovery of grounded skills that allow for the possibility of divesting from the oppressive economy as it is. Drawing from those two key components, we have begun an apprenticeship system that seeks to foster deep contributions to the shared space while also honoring diversity in individual interests and beings.
What is the Apprenticeship Model:
The embodiment of apprenticeship is clear-eyed, lighthearted, and deeply engaged. We are inspired by the apprentice’s posture of learning and attention to craft. They are always experimenting and honing in. As a part of our residencies, we each choose a small number (~2-4) of crafts, arts, subjects, offerings… to apprentice under. Since we carry out our apprenticeships under a focus, not a person, we each pursue learning and practice independently with the intention to share the fruits of our labor. The only requirements for areas of apprenticeship are that they make a contribution to our shared space and that one understands them to be towards broader collective liberation. Through the apprenticeship model, we hold a container to grow our individual capacities. As these capacities grow, we gain the energy and heart-centered inspiration to effectively direct our life-force toward the things we find most deeply meaningful. In humility and mutual respect, we work to address the blocks within each of us that hold us back from effectively living an active and inspired life.
The Nitty Gritty:
We are not merely seeking roommates. We ask that applicants be serious about interrogating whether they wish to make the time and space to make The Experiment a primary aspect of their lives. It is important to us that residents can also maintain their own hobbies, friendships, occupations, pursuits, etc. out of the home (and also integrate them into the space!), but it is necessary to understand that participating as a resident of The Experiment requires that it be a priority in your life. We understand that it is impossible to truly discern if one desires a major life change hypothetically, or whether this major life change will be right for you. As such, residency at The Experiment begins with a four-month Residency Period. Throughout this time, we openly and collectively evaluate whether a continued residency is best for all parties. We have found that these processes lead to mutual agreement and an increase in relational security. We have observed that this model reduces anxiety for residents about it being the “right fit” and instead fosters open dialogue about community dynamics and how the community can be most supportive for all.
We believe deeply in the importance of individual and collective dynamism. We seek to hold structures and expectations as invitations to practice, connection, and growth. We strive to prevent these structures and expectations from feeling oppressive or obligatory. We have found that consistency and structured time together wonderfully fosters organic relationships. In this spirit, we have the following expectations of long-term residents but practice a soft-transition for new residents as they settle in and build capacity: a
Weekly community meeting (1.5 hrs)
10 hours weekly of basic contribution (cooking, cleaning, garden maintenance)
5 hours weekly of apprenticeship practice
Make dinner 2x weekly, someone makes dinner nightly though attendance is non-mandatory
There is an opening in the middle room which currently has a twin bed, but could fit a larger bed and features a walk-in closet and individual full bath. We evenly divide the $3200 rent by the number of Front House residents (4-6). We’ve recently acquired a teardrop trailer as an auxiliary dwelling that one of us uses as a bedroom. Utilities are split evenly and not included in rent. We also evenly split food costs as we have developed a rigorous system that includes direct relationships to the producers of most of the food that we cannot grow. Individuals are welcome to have their own special food items/ snacks but must be willing to integrate into the larger meal system. We can accommodate dietary restrictions however are looking for a good eater with omnivorous habits. We only consume meat products from humane, sustainable sources. We believe meat is an important part of the human diet. We are pet friendly though we already have a dog and two cats on the property.
We would love to hear from you if the prospect of residency excites you! We will send a short application with a few questions that will help us get to know you and hopefully invite you into further exploration about potential residency. After that, we would love to meet you at our home and get to know you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!
*If elements of the residency are not realistic for your lifestyle but you feel similarly called to this philosophy and aligned in value, there are various opportunities to join our community with lower expectations! We have a growing number of satellite members whose presence brings much joy.

Seeking Fellow Apprentice(s) at The Experiment: An Intentional Community in Monrovia
Hi! We are a small, aspirational intentional community located in Monrovia Ca. We are composed of 8-10 residents and many more friends and neighbors. We strive to share more supported lives that center nourishment and connection more than pleasure and consumption. In the spirit of this, we have a large, water-wise garden which provides us with food, medicine, and companionship. We share meals, social time and spiritual practices. Our goal for residents at The Experiment is that each of our personal relationships to this land become a primary relationship of our lives allowing it to provide the depth of nourishment that we know is possible. Part of our broader mission is to invigorate the re-discovery of grounded skills that allow for the possibility to divest from the oppressive economy as it is. Drawing from those two key components we have begun an apprenticeship system which seeks to simultaneously foster deep contribution to the shared space while honoring diversity in individual interests and beings.

There is an opening in the front room which historically has been a great space for either couples or singles. We evenly divide the $3200 rent by the number of Front House residents (4-5). For the next couple months, we will have a short term resident living in an auxiliary dwelling. His financial contribution will slightly reduce these rent numbers. Utilities are split evenly and not included in rent.

I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home on 1/2 acre. It’s a quiet neighborhood near Lake Travis. There is lake access 5 minutes drive or a nice nature walk. There are three peers and a rope swing into the lake along with BBQs and picnic tables. I often take my paddle board out on the lake on the weekends. There are foxes, deer and various species of birds that frequent my front and back yard. I am working on a garden and have space if you are into gardening. I have a large back patio if you I like to sit on and enjoy the sounds of nature or the stars at night. I am earth friendly, compost and don’t use pesticides. I am looking for someone to share my space who is into conscious living. I’m mostly plant based, I don’t drink. I have a bedroom for rent with a closet and a full detached bathroom. There is no TV but I do have wifi. I do have a Washer and Dryer. I will put some more photos up soon.
