…Are you looking for a somewhat more inspired, engaged and wholesome living environment, with fellow compassionate, mindful, clean!, down-to-earth, nature-loving, sustainable, holistic, creative, socially-conscious, fun, health-oriented, intelligent, idealistic human-beings?? I invite you to come co-create and manifest a vision together in this beautiful garden oasis…

The apartment:
-A small, but cozy and cute, well-lit (and did I mention clean!!) 3-bd ground level duplex, conveniently situated just a block away from Berkeley Bowl (for all you car-less foodies!!) which is also a short three or four block walk from Ashby Bart. Carpeted. 1 Full bath, Kitchen. Gas-stove. Washer/Dryer. Living room: cozy and equipped with functioning fireplace- oh yah!! Dining area. Central gas heating.
Your Room: Aprx. 10 x 10, with own private back door to yard, small but descent-size closet, fair light and east-facing window. $600/mo
Utilities: we split PG&E: apprx. $20/mo/person (probably more like $30 in colder months) AT&T: another $10/mo/person- for wireless..
Yard: Did I mention it’s gi-normous!! Very abundant with flora, fruit trees and veggies, and still tons of gardening potential- green thumbers welcome... great for chilling, bbq’s, etc… would like to set up a hammock. Shared with adjoining apartment above and adjacent multiplex: all warm and friendly people…

Roommates:
Daniel (me): besides fore-mentioned qualities, a thirty year-old Social Welfare undergrad at UCB (belated, I know..) Worked as a preschool teacher and residential counselor for adolescent youth… Continuing my education. Very spiritually inclined- the meaning of which had evolved over time, but basically striving for self-actualization and Truth through mediation, connection and service. An Ammachi devotee, though integrated with many spiritual philosophies. I play guitar and sing.. I love to dance. Cook delicious and healthy food. I do eat meat (mostly for health reasons) though I am working towards a mostly vegetarian diet. A novice Kombuchaist. Resourceful and prefer to do, make and create things myself rather than rely on buying them: self/community/local sustainability. I jog, ride bicycles, anything outdoors. I strive to be healthy: physically, mentally and spiritually

Claudia: 26 year-old German biology intern at UCB. She is only here through August- when she will be leaving for her next internship in Oklahoma!? (This means there will be another opening in October!!) She is very sweet and has a natural and holistic nature about her, evident especially in her amazing ability to effortlessly conjure up a seemingly gourmet meal, which I’ve never seen her duplicate once!! She is bright and joyful and has an eager and earnest desire to experience all that California has to offer while she is here…

You: human being... (though friendly, interesting aliens may apply...) resonate with most (or all!!) of the fore-mentioned qualities and values. Prefer someone of similar age. Wants more than just a room to rent, but rather to contribute to a creating a more holistic and integrated home-environment. Lives an inspired and fulfilled life- or at least striving for such.. must have a natural disposition to cleanliness (i.e. does not need to be asked to clean up after self). Is self-driven. Considerate- especially considering it is somewhat small living space. A good Communicator. Financially stable, responsible with paying bills on time (you know- all the basic requirements for a functionaing, harmonious roommate…)

Details: Move in date: Aug. 3 (will prorate rent and utl’s). Looking for 1 year commitment. No pets allowed… sorry
Please respond: only if it seems like you fit and resonate with the description/vision… send descriptionof yourself: who you are, what looking for in a place, and any little interesting tidbits: favorite books, movies, foods, hobbies, games, annoyances, practices, etc… more descriptive, the better…
Thank you so much for reading through this rather meticulous ad.. if you got this far then there is likely some potential. I look forward to hearing from you…

~Daniel
p.s. I wasn’t able to upload more pictures to the site unfortunately. Will have to send them to you another way. Sorry. Trust me- it’s a quality place…
