Intentional Residential Community
The Waysmeet Campus Center, located at 15 Mill Road in downtown Durham, has eight private rooms. Each academic year, students live at Waysmeet as an “Intentional Community.” That is, they agree to live together committed to the following principles:
- To treat each other with respect, dignity, compassion and kindness.
- To agree to share equally in the household community, from chores to purchase of common materials.
- To deal with any conflict situations in compassionate and productive ways designed to provide mutually affirming and supporting resolutions to challenges that arise.
- To participate in regular house meetings (the frequency determined by the particular group and Waysmeet staff).
- To support and participate in the hospitality of The Waysmeet Center by welcoming and greeting all visitors in friendly, polite and respectful ways.
- To participate in some aspect of The Waysmeet Center that is comfortable for the individual. That could be through participation in our programs, through service or volunteer work, assisting with care of the facility, and the like.
Each resident has a comfortable private room, and each grouping of four rooms share a bathroom and common hallway. House residents also have their own private kitchen, living rooms and sitting rooms, and complete use of the grounds and common areas of The Waysmeet Center, including Hubbe Hall, for visiting, relaxation, study, recreation, meditation, reading, music, prayer, and so on.
The cost of living at The Waysmeet Center is currently $800 per month which includes utilities, heat, electricity, and internet. (Rent amounts are subject to change.) Persons interested in living at The Waysmeet Center will be asked to fill out an application and interview with Waysmeet staff. If you have questions, call or e-mail us.
