Four Sessions and a Field Trip
This Study Group will survey examples of cohousing communities in Europe and the USA and consider the benefits, essential components, and challenges of cohousing. We’ll also learn some collaborative communication skills that are essential tools for members of successful cohousing communities. As our guide, we will use the book “Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities” written by Kathryn McCamant and her husband Charles Durrett; two well-known architects and proponents of cohousing.
This four-session Study Group will cover the following topics:
How multigenerational communities thrive in cohousing
Communication skills that are essential for collaborative communities
How cohousing communities support family life
