Location Portland
I have dreams of a home with 1-3 other people that is clean and we all do our part, has lots of gardening, shares food/cooks dinner together sometimes, live together as housemates more than roommates, has the occasional potluck and the rare costume/theme party, has a little magical thread throughout the house (perhaps a little house altar), is queer friendly, is crafty and cozy, where there is a bit of drinking but not drunkenness abounding, and where clear communication and practicing compassionate listening with each other as a community is a shared vision of the space. with other queer/lgbt or friendly folk would be preferable. with people who have lived a few rounds in community housing and have a bit of life experience would also be a plus. a few animals about would be nice, maybe even a house open to me finding a new kitty to love. I would love to pay somewhere between $250 and $400...

A bit about me: I am 35, queer, a massage therapist and singer. I love to garden (food, herbs, flowers), and just worked on a farm all summer, so i want space to help utilize what i have learned(and knowledge share if needed). I love to live in a house that can feel a bit like a haven from the bustle of the city. I enjoy local food, cooking, fermentation and food preservation, herbalism, crafting and sewing, playing music, sitting around a fire together. I am constantly practicing being a better communicator, and enjoy learning and growing with people i live with. I love sitting in on a cold winter night and watching a movie, or going for a walk in the rain with an umbrella. i love the library, reading, sitting in coffee shops for hours with a good book and riding my bike around this lovely town. I love playing dress up in sparkly shiny sassy outfits and going out to queer nights or just being around the house in fabulous wonder. I am radical in my politics and a bit magical/woo in my spirituality, some meditation and yoga, some full moon celebrations...i love to wander to the woods for hiking or the ocean for sitting or vice versa.

I have lived in portland on and off for 10 years. I am currently staying with friends/working and I leave on November 20th to go and help with the birth and care of my new nephew.
I know it is early planning, but I am trusting that I will find a place and put rent/deposit down for January 1st before I leave town November 20th.

Yay for asking for and getting what we need!!
