I have lived at Koinonia House (affectionately referred to as K-House) for the past 11 years (that is almost a third of my life), that's right! I have shared my life, space, ups and downs, success, disappointments, art, labor, company, food, parties, friends, skills, joy, etc, etc, with a considerable amount of people. I have learned things the hard, the easy and the best way.
Living in community has influenced my art (which I am for ever grateful for), my beliefs, phobias, fears, politics, engagements, commitments, etc, even the way I have fun! I have learned the importance of sharing labor to ease our life burdens, which in consequence leaves us more time to pursue our passions without the fear of ending up living under a bridge. I have learned to slowly shed off the individualistic shell that prevents us from being more human and care for each other.
Now, living in community isn't always pretty, it takes hard work both physically and emotionally, it takes patience, commitment, empathy, good attitude, uff! But believe me, there is a big chance I have become a better person after those 11 years.
This was my introductory note to let people know that we are looking for new members, if interested please follow the link and fill out our (sort of) application.
