the embassy
We are an intentional community living in the heart of counterculture San Francisco. We have been building life together for over 12 years.
Our mission has been to build a commons and to explore what commoning can become.
Our main goals are to ensure that whatever happens in the current unfolding geopolitical crises, that someone has both done all the dishes and replaces the toilet roll.
It’s a process, but we believe we are up to this challenge.
our home
As we explore ways of sharing space and time, we have a mix of shared and private rooms to meet different needs. Despite living in density, many of us are introverts :)
For us, one of the central parts of coming together is hosting events. This ensures that our home has a continual flow of people, culture and dialogue. (AND DIRTY DISHES)
One of our theories of change is that by living together, and building a life in common, we can reclaim alienated time, labour, finances and sociality that the default world deprives us of. With that surplus generated in common, we can be of service and build new prefigurative projects.
Awkward things the media have said
Agnew, who is in her late thirties and has lilac-blond hair, is the leader of these interlocking alliances, although she’d hate that description, because she does not believe in imposed hierarchy.
The idea of sharing is palatable enough for things like power tools and even cars, but our homes? Like underwear and teeth retainers, homes are the kind of things that are best when they have clear lines of possessions. Not so says Embassy Networks in San Francisco.
They have four 3-D printers and a bowling alley downstairs. The Wi-Fi password is NetPositive.
