Description

Temescal Commons is a co-housing community founded in 2000 by a group of people who were part of a Christian church and craved a way of living their faith more actively the other six days a week. Over the years, it has evolved to be interfaith. Its founding and enduring principles are 1) “radical hospitality”—the idea that everyone, no exceptions, is deserving of kindness—2) community, and 3) sustainability.
