Evy (rhymes with heavy) has been wanting to live with children in community for as long as they can remember. They write about communal living on their blog, sing barbershop with Fog City Harmonia, and volunteer with the Bay Area Childcare Collective. They love writing, lists, creating amateur art, challenging binaries, IFS therapy, spreadsheets, hugs, talking about feelings, and being very silly.

Ping joined The Village after many years of living in co-ops in the East Bay, including the Berkeley Student Cooperative system. He is often excited about democracy, humanitarian relief, nonviolent communication, paragliding, crow intelligence, interactive art, public transportation, shenanigans, spreadsheets, travel, languages, and music theory.

Ana loves walks with friends in rain or shine, reading, biking with Ilio in tow despite the humiliation of trying to make it up a hill, brewing ginger-based concoctions, and adventures with friends.

Ilio (5yo) is secretly a teenage mutant ninja turtle. Don’t tell anyone.

Cristina is a bibliophile with a passion for understanding the brain, other humans and what it means to live a good life. It's her first time at the rodeo of community living and is excited to learn from the experience. Her favorite things include making others laugh, long hugs, and hanging out in the golden gate park.

Yevgeny (yev-GHEH-knee) likes to wear many metaphorical hats in addition to physical ones. Some of his favorites include: Physicist, engineer, Irish dancer, cyclist, psychodynamic & somatic counselor, cuddler, astronomer, nonmonogamous partner, vegan, pilot, musician, photographer, and dad-joke-no-one-asked-for vending machine. When he’s not chin-deep in equations or bringing transistors to life in his mysterious mad science dungeon, he looks for ways to deepen connections between humans. He feels happiest gathering people together to co-create and is genetically unable to go more than 5 minutes without saying something silly. If you ever hear baroque music coming out the back of a bike, wave and say hello!

Rox loves to dance, cook, cuddle with cats and dogs, and go down rabbit holes learning about new things. She’s lived in SF for over a decade and grew up in the North Bay but considers the world her home. Mama to 11 year old Saoirse (human) and 2 year old Albus (catto).

Saoirse is a 12 year old who likes to make art (see her masterpiece of her mom to the left), hang out with friends, read, dance, watch 2000s TV shows, and look at cat memes. Her favorite neighborhood activity is walking with housemates to the bodega to get snacks.

Albus (like Dumbledore) is an almost 2 year old Maine Coon who revels in his majesty. He loves humans who give him attention and treats and has big goals for 2024 and lives by the motto ‘if it fits, it sits’.

Paloma loves living with others and dreams of building a sustainable, abolitionist homestead with her friends someday. She's happiest when laying in the sun, dancing to live music, making pottery, and protesting for a better world <3

Grace likes to be outside, on foot and on wheels, exploring new paths and neighborhoods (biking, running, skating). She loves cooking and sharing food creations with others. A bicoastal transplant (SoCal > Baltimore & NYC > Bay Area), along with a couple rounds of extended travel abroad, Grace feels very grateful to settle into an intentional community within the glorious city of San Francisco. 

Sam can play just about any drum solo on a set of porcelain plates, but often only once.

Andrew (6yo) has been noted in local papers for having rescued a fireman from a burning building twice.

Arthur (6yo) is a world champion sumo wrestler, who combines bachata moves into his practice.
