Euclid Manor

A co-living community

Adams Point · Oakland, California

Euclid von Imaginal Manor crest

I co-founded this community and lived in it for 10.5 years.

Euclid Manor's community has evolved over the years, but we have always lived together with a generosity of spirit, sharing , and experimenting with how our home can be a platform for loving each other, ourselves, and the world.

We have always oriented ourselves towards social impact. We have always been a social hub for events and guests. We have always been silly and playful. We have always been the place that welcomes the caterpillar... the chrysalis where imaginal cells cluster together to build the future that no one else thinks is possible. And when we leave Euclid Manor, we fly. 🦋

How the house works

The food program

We each contribute $250 a month for local, organic, ethically-sourced food. We have big house dinners every Sunday and Wednesday.

Activities

House meetings every three weeks, big retreats every year or so, and fun house activities or events all the time.

The residents

Periodically we hold interviews to select new residents. We celebrate diversity across race, gender, sexuality, ability, lifestyle, and age.

Moving out

I moved out of Euclid Manor in December 2025, but not without an epic going away party...
