There is increasing recognition that living in community can be a better, healthier option. Combating loneliness and the opportunity to share resources are among the benefits mentioned frequently.
Cohousing – Living the Dream is an opportunity to learn more from Eugenie about cohousing, case studies, stories from residents and what it takes to get projects built. Other speakers are Melissa who will share about her research into Spreefeld, a cohousing project in Berlin, and for those keen to get involved in a project here, we’ve invited two ‘burning souls’ to share their dream.
Cohousing is redefining the American Dream. Can it also redefine the Australian one? What will it take to build a cohousing community here?
