            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I grew up in suburban NY, and left in 1990 to study with Ramtha the Enlightened One in Yelm, WA. I was an active participant for twenty years, and now I want to live with others in a robust community that seeks to become greater than what they have been. I am an author, and last year I published a book about my spiritual journey titled, Becoming God Realized - Stories from my Journey. In current development is  my next book, Into the Science of Consciousness - An Introduction to the New Physics. I've lived simply in my life - no house, no wife, no kids. No dogs, either. But I have some money from an inheritance, but I don't want to just buy some house in the woods and live by myself. I'm 77, so I'm not too zippy in terms of digging ditches or fixing a roof, but I have lots of organizational skills and creative talents. Looking for communal dinners at least once or twice a week, plus frequent social gatherings. I want to live close to nature, so trees and gardens are essential. I am also excited for the emerging possibility of open and direct contact with Galactic and Inter-dimensional Beings.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I lived in an intentional community in Seattle and miss it.  I now live and work in the Olympia area.  I am living in my dream town and have my dream job.  I am working hard on my spiritual and mental health path.  I am almost 63.  I love the outdoors and like to exercise.  I am a lesbian cis female.  I prefer sharing chores. I am sober 27 years and prefer to be around limited substance use.  I am a non smoker and definitely try to avoid tobacco smoke.  I love elders and can't believe that I am almost one of them.  My adult son lives in AZ with other developmentally disabled men.  After living in this community for two years I am still building community.  Some of my passions include Souper Sundays and other mutual aid programs which I started getting serious about when political activity was not working too well.  But I still do some of that. I do own a vehicle.</p>]]></content:encoded>

I have sold the family home and I am actively seeking a community that can use my skills. I am currently, in the Portland area but open to either urban or rural life. On the coast, we recently put in solar panels and tried to be as eco-friendly as possible. I have a need to be useful! My most recent job was as an outreach library worker driving a bookmobile.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm a 44 year old trans nonbinary single parent of two children and two cats. We are each neurospicy in our own ways, which makes life more interesting and fun for sure! I share custody 50/50 with my ex-wife and the kids attend public school in the Vancouver School District. I work from home 4 days per week and from the office the other day for the State of Washington Division of Child Support. I'm committed to my recovery in two twelve step programs, neither of which are based on a history of substance abuse. However, I do prefer to live with others who are either substance free or only use substances rarely. What that looks like for me is that I have the occasional cider drink and never anything else other than prescription and over the counter medications as needed. </p><p>I'm passionate about community care and mutual aid and have been dreaming of intentional community through co-housing for a while now. Growing up I assumed my shared housing would be with a spouse, but having experienced marriage I have come to the realization that I do not in any way desire that experience again. What I do desire is supportive, intentional, loving, platonic, cooperative housing. </p>]]></content:encoded>
