What we do

A residential community in downtown Toronto that is based on 3 pillars, Inner growth (meditation, therapy, plant medicine, dance), Community well being ( Authentic relating, shared cooking, shared responsibilities and community events) and sustainable and regenerative living (using reusable plastic, prioritizing vegetarian food, being engaged in system change).
We are between 6-8 members, we have regular community meetings (logistical and connection meetings), we share chores and cooking. There is a studio on top floor that we use for meetings such as our biweekly group therapy and dance events, meditation and plant medicine work. We also have workshops on physical and emotional intimacy.
Mostly our residents that live here are full time members, and sometimes we have opening for a full time living or short term sublet. Our events are mostly open to the public.
Please contact us to find out about openings in the house.
