The Experiment in Monrovia
Posted on: July 15th, 2024 by Tabor No Comments

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.

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 their 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, 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 bring fruits of our labor into our shared space. The only requirements for areas of apprenticeship are that they make a contribution to our shared space and that one understands it to be a potential contribution to broader collective liberation.

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 is right for you. As such residency at The Experiment begins with a four month Residency Period. After this, we conduct an open re-evaluation in order to uncover 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 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. In this spirit, we have the following expectations of residency: a

Weekly community meeting (1.5 hr)
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 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. We also evenly split food costs as we have developed a rigorous system which includes direct relationships to the producers of most of the food which 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 seven cats on the property. Two of the cats we have been long term pet sitting and are moving out somewhat soon. Four more of the cats are three kittens and their mama. We are in the process of homing them.

We would love to hear from you if the prospect of residency excites you! We will send you a short application with a few questions which will help us get to know you and which will hopefully invite you into further exploration about a potential residency. We would also love to hear from you if residency doesn’t seem right but this post makes you interested in our community! We have a growing number of satellite members whose presence brings much joy.

Venice Beach at its Best.
Posted on: June 15th, 2024 by Tony No Comments

Hey Hey World!
Thought we had this wrapped up, but it appears we will have one furnished (or unfurnished) room available at our spot come June 17th!
It really is a GREAT place- which is probably why I have lived here for almost 20 years now!!
Right on Pacific, less than a half block from Venice blvd with the corner store, Bellisimo, Ospi, and the new Sí Mon. A block and a half from Windward circle and everything there; and of course- one block from the Beach.
The apartment was renovated less than 5 years ago, and features a beautiful wide open kitchen/living room with fireplace, an awesome roofdeck, parking in back, and of course…amazing roomies!! 🙂
We are low maintenance, high respect people- and are looking for someone (all genders welcome) who can be fun and social, but most importantly handle their biz and be respectful of the space, neighbors, etc.
You would be sharing a bathroom with Sarah– who works in architecture/design, is Super sweet, active, and considerate, and has an Awesome little cat named Captain Picard. For more on her: instagram.com/anakardiam
As for myself, Tony is the name and I do commercial voiceover work, some acting, and play piano/make music.
Here’s ME: instagram.com/tony_sano or https://www.facebook.com/tonysano
Anywho, it’s been a while since I have posted one of these things so not sure what else to mention… The room isn’t Huge, but has more than ample space- and has been very well kept up. The pictures I just uploaded aren’t the Best, but all I had with me here as I sit in film scoring class! Will see if I can snap a few more in the coming days. It has great light, and you can essentially decorate it as you wish. The rent ($1800) is ALL inclusive- for room, utilities(power+wifi), use of furniture/tv etc already in the room, and parking.

Looking to move fast on this thing, so give me a holler!!

-Tony

Beautiful ocean view home with pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis court in Encinitas
Posted on: February 25th, 2024 by Isabella No Comments

Beautiful ocean view home with pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis court – close to the beach, restaurants, markets etc. The home has also has a separate healing room/temple space for daily practices, etc.

Looking for conscious, successful, mature, entrepreneur/creative/game changer types who want a furnished (or not) spot for short or long term in a gorgeous home near the beach. Great for nomads.

You – you do your inner work, are up to creating change in the in the world, you have stellar communication skills (you can navigate dissonance with maturity and ease), are social and engaging, and likely more on the extraverted side 😉 You can flow equally with gatherings or quiet time, are sex positive, open, are emotionally and intellectually mature AF, can go with the flow, and are an expert in human connection. If you enjoy substances, it’s infrequently and not part of daily life 🙂

Creatives, game B types. . . who understand sovereign unity in life, and in sharing space.

I have a few fully furnished rooms to choose from (although furniture can be removed if needed), all with ocean view, ranging from 2,000 – 3,000 (one room is a very large double room that was once two separate rooms)- all utilities/wifi included. Month to month rental, with option for long term. NO PETS.

Personally, I design highly curated experiences for successful men, and have self-expression programs for women, as well as create and produce transformational performance art. I’m creative, outgoing, deep, intense, playful, cuddly, and thrive on intelligent, creative connections, collaborations) I split time between Encinitas and Austin, and the owner of the home splits his time between Encinitas and Baja. We both pop in and out of the home and travel quite a bit.

The Life House
Posted on: February 24th, 2024 by Sophia No Comments

The Life House offers a spacious sanctuary setting for people to gather, create, rejuvenate, and connect with the beauty of this place.

To the west are incredible views of the mountain range with spectacular sunsets, and to the east are wide open plains, with hiking trails along the mesa, and inspiring sunrises.

The Life House is located on the southeast edge of Boulder, Colorado, and is a 10 minute drive from downtown Boulder.

We have a guest room we rent out to friends on occasion, and we rent it out by the night ($85/ night). This room is fully furnished, with access to a full bathroom and personal walk-in closet. This room is intended for short-term rentals, ranging from a couple days to a couple weeks.

It is a shared living context, as there are others living in the house, but the people here and passing through, are all an excellent caliber of human.

The house is large, spacious, and well designed for hosting and creating the right environment for all types of social, family and work experiences.
