In Northern California’s wine country, several spiritual sects are finding common ground. Literally, and all the better if they set an example through living side-by-side and sharing.
So says Dave Larkin, who’s had a hand in bringing together 60-and-older people of the Quaker and Zen faiths. This fall, residents began moving into a 200-plus-apartment senior living community called Enso Village-A Kendal Affiliate in the city of Healdsburg, just north of Santa Rosa. He reckons they’ll get along just fine.
But working out the more secular matters hasn’t been as easy. If the path to Nirvana or Paradise takes commitment and diligence, the same has held true for bringing Enso Village to fruition. Though the project had been proposed over a decade ago, it may have been ahead of its time. Bringing it to completion took time and persistence.
Construction at Enso began construction around the same time when Larkin became general counsel and one-man legal team at The Kendal Corporation, a Quaker-rooted and Newark, Delaware-based nonprofit with 11 affiliates—10 senior communities and a Life Plan at Home-based model called Kendal at Home in nine states—and likely soon more under its auspices.
