Synchronicity LA is an intentional living community of musicians, artists, social workers, scientists, and education professionals located in the historic West Adams District in the heart of Los Angeles, California. We are an eleven member, mixed-gender household, with eight bedrooms between us. We also have a small visual and audio arts studio in the back yard, and a beautiful garden in the front (with eco-local plants, plus some edible delights!).

Together we share meals, energy, kindness and life in order to promote connectedness, provide hospitality and foster wholeness for each other and those around us, with the hopes of reducing harm in a world that we hope to see reach its potential of wholeness. We follow no particular religion or belief system, save that of openness, hospitality, and love.
We are currently seeking a new housemate to move in (opening starts May 10th) to fill a spot as a member of the community. We need a person who is thrilled about living in community, okay with sharing a room with a man, and willing to participate fully in our household. Some of the basic requirements for living here are as follows:
-Each person has a couple chores, which must be tended to regularly
-Each person co-oversees an aspect of the community to keep it running smoothly
-Each person must cook dinner (with a partner) once every two weeks for community dinners, and then clean the kitchen the next night after cooking. Our community dinners happen Monday through Thursday. There is no obligation to attend, but it is very nice to come home to a deliciously prepared meal on those nights.
-Weekly community meetings are held on Monday nights, and everyone is expected to make it a priority to attend. These meetings are part of the glue that holds our house and us together, where we problem-solve, make decisions by consensus, and plan and dream for the future.
-Positive attitudes are a must
-We are an LGBTQ-friendly and safe household
-Commitments to communication, problem-solving, and peaceful living are highly valued here

Rogelio Bolivar lives in Denver and converts diesel engines to Waste Vegetable Oil as a hobby and way of life. A day after Tin and I met him he was on his way to a diesel emissions test center to see the difference in emissions between diesel and WVO.

Our first full-sized beet of the year! Look at those curves...(harvested from our garden 3/19/12)

I spent some time in Bolivia, and whilst working at a cafe/bar, i feasted daily on homemade granola and yoghurt made in my boss’s backyard.  I’ve always dreamt of waking up and tasting that homemade deliciousness here in LA.  So I researched making homemade yoghurt and it turns out the trickiest part to making it is keeping the yoghurt at 105-115 degrees for 6 to allow the cultures to spread.  I was struggling to find a way, then it hit me!  That’s the temp of our hot tub in the backyard!  hooray!   So Ever since january I’ve been keeping Synchronicity stocked with gallons of homemade yoghurt by sealin’ that yoghurt up tight, thrown it in the tub, and lettin’ it cook!

100% Orgasmic Granola

Rounding out my bolivian dream.. my dream of a lady (above) and I have been cooking up some homemade granola to top off that yoghurt!  Yummy concoctions of late have featured pumpkin spices, quinoa, flax seed, crispy rice, and maple candied nuts!  Oh me oh my.  Lately we’ve made a batch to raise money for a trip to Bangladesh, where we are helping start a One for One Restaurant company that could feed many hungry kids around the globe.  Learn more and donate if you wish here!

Love Letters to the End – Episode 1 from Love Letters to the End on Vimeo.

The world might end this year. Well, that’s what people are saying anyway. You and I may not think so, but let’s make believe for a moment.

If the world were to end this year, what would you want to share with it? What memories, yearnings, gratitudes, regrets, triumphs, and wonders call out?

This is an invitation to be a part of a community art project. “Love Letters To The End” is a dramatic interactive world wide web series and collaborative community letter-writing project. Your letter might be short or long, pivotal or insignificant, melancholy, joyous, or sublime.

Write your love letter to the world before it ends.

The anonymous letter you send to the address below will be shared on the website, and could even be included in the narrative of the web series. This project will bring in collaborators from all over and what we make together might just inspire others. We hope you will join us on this journey.

Pico BLVD cuts through the heart of our city, from the garment district Downtown through Japanese and Persian neighborhoods, kissing the Byzantine-Latino quarter and Koreatown, and all the way to the breakers of the Pacific.
This collaboration of two Salon veterans certainly pleases the masses in the Synchronicity studio.
