Welcome to Life at the Villa
Brooklyn Bushwick's
first Sex Positive
Intentional Community
Hacienda Villa is a sex-positive intentional community based in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The community was co-founded by Andrew Sparksfire, a real-estate entrepreneur, investor, and activist, and world-renowned sex educator Kenneth Play.
The Villa has fourteen full-time members, fifteen bedrooms, thirteen bathrooms, three kitchens, as well as a basement event space, backyard fire pit, hot tub, gazebo, and outdoor bar and lounge.
Our members come from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, relationship practices and professions. We are sex-positive and radically inclusive. We celebrate all safe, consensual sexual expression among adults.
As an intentional community, we live together deliberately by principles of inclusivity, compassionate communication, stewardship, self-actualization, and social responsibility.
The Villa is a home first, and we practice responsible hedonism, with the belief that we can indulge all our pleasures while being considerate of everyone’s needs and boundaries.
