We continue to host events to let people know about the vision for the community, such as an upcoming reading group based on the book by Ted Rau, Who Decides Who Decides? This is a 4-session virtual reading group about sociocracy, a model used for governing cohousing communities that facilitates efficient collaborative decision-making. You will receive a zoom link after you register.

Ted J. Rau is a trainer and coach for sociocracy. He is the co-founder of Sociocracy For All, a nonprofit that makes decentralized, consent-based governance accessible to everyone. He and his five children live in a co-housing community in Massachusetts with 80 neighbors. Ted loves systems that help us be our better selves and that lead us closer to a world that works for everyone.

On Friday night, April 26, our architect Jack Wilbern will provide an orientation to planning our future homes. We will also view the site concept plan and the Common House design our Members recently developed. 

This event is open to the public.

Many cohousing communities use consensus or sociocracy tools for decision-making to ensure that all voices are heard. Join us to practice skillful listening in small groups as we consider reasons people give for their votes on cohousing topics. We will learn about current questions and concerns in cohousing communities worldwide.

Your host will select 2-3 topics from current international cohousing community listserve discussions. This is a great opportunity to use contemporary questions and concerns among cohousing Members and Explorers to share ideas without any pressure to agree or make decisions.

Local members plan both in-person and virtual events to get to know one-another and inject more fun in our lives! Nothing conquers loneliness and isolation like community.
