Dear Downtown Dharma community,
Our friend who was about to move into our beautiful house just won one of DC subsidized housing jackpots that she simply couldn't pass up. This is sad news for us but also a wonderful opportuntity for you or someone you know to join our community. We're looking for someone to move in starting from Aug.1st or Sept. 1st. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward it on. Have a lovely weekend!
----
We are a group house centered around meditation and yoga, as well as laughter, good food, and hopefully soon, a flourishing garden. Each of us has an ongoing daily practice, with buddhist vipassana meditation and yoga strongly represented.
We also welcome the broader DC community into many of these activities, so that the house is a space for supporting the practice of others. We host meditation four times a week, as well as occasional dharma talks and a daylong meditation retreat once a month. We host yoga (in the Dharma Mittra tradition) three times a week, plus yoga nidra and kirtan. We are also hoping to open our space to other events like potlucks, book clubs and classes on meditation and the dharma.
Our 3 story townhouse is divided between a meditation and yoga space on the first floor and private living space - bedrooms, kitchen, living/dining room, washer/dryer - on the second and third floors. There is also a backyard with a beautiful garden and a firepit, a shaded deck off the second floor, a guest room, and a basement for storage. We are located in the heart of Mt Pleasant, a block away from the farmer's market, restaurants and shops, and a stone's throw away from the forest refuge of Rock Creek Park.
The available space is a 9'x13' room on the third floor with lots of natural light that shares a full bathroom with one other person. We are looking for someone to move in between May 7 and June 1. Price is $925/month, plus around $65-$100 per month for utilities and shared expenses.
The current housemates are 5 women and 1 man in their 30s (including one hetero couple). We are a fun-loving group who enjoy raucous laughter, cooking and sharing food, swapping books, and reflecting on life and learning together. We try to meditate together regularly and create a home environment supportive of reflection and contemplation.
We are seeking a housemate who has an established spiritual practice - whatever that means to you - and wants to deepen that practice in community with others. You should be interested in participating in and sometimes hosting some of the meditation, yoga, or other events we regularly have in our home.
