We are a group of people in a little township just south of SF in a big beautiful house with a garden (which needs a little TLC), a fireplace, cozy couches, and a useful kitchen. We share some meals, popcorn and movies, chores, laughter, bi-monthly housemeetings, and fun whenever possible.
There are currently nine people and a dog (senior yellow lab). We have two rooms available. One is large enough for a couple . and the other is probably best for a single person.
[ History of the Annex]
The Brisbane Annex has been many things over the decades. It was originally founded in the late 70s as a sensual community by Ray Vetterlein and consisted of two houses which were known as "the Villa" and "the Annex". The two houses were on different streets and about a quarter mile apart. However the residents came and went from either house at will.
The community remained actively involved in sensuality research until 2006 when some residents founded the Onetaste community in nearby San Francisco and others stayed behind. At that time the Villa was sold to a former resident and the Annex continued on as a non-sensual intentional community. Today at any given time we have between 13 and 16 residents and a dog, who also happens to be the third most senior resident.
