HOLISTIC VEGETARIAN HOUSE

San Diego, California, U.S.A.

Over the last seven years, we have found in our home that people from all walks of life blossom when they volunteer their skills without expectation of monetary reward or other personal gain.  Some have prior health care training and experience, others have none.  All gain new direction in life.  Several have been very successful at local colleges and universities, free from the expense of rent and food and the pressures of an outside job.

We are an international spiritual family – three caregivers now, plus the manager of the house and “Grandpa”. All three of the current caregivers are either enrolled in local universities, or planning to begin graduate work soon.

• Would you like to live in a non-denominational spiritual household dedicated to helping you develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually?
• Are you a vegetarian, or willing to become one?  (All of our food is vegetarian, and most of it is organic.)
• Would you like to practice selfless service and not worry about the cost of food and housing?

• "Holistic" means dealing with life in its totality (physical, emotional, social, environmental, spiritual; past, present, and future; ...) in a balanced manner.  "Holistic" also implies abstinence from stimulants, intoxicants, addictive substances, and mind-altering drugs, all of which vitiate one's judgement and prevent a natural attunement to fuller awareness of our being.
• "Vegetarian" indicates respect for all living beings and a commitment to act in accordance with that belief.
• "House" means a home, which is an extension of one's body, which in turn is an expression of one's self.
