Volume XII – Cohousing

Are you curious about cohousing?

As one common type of intentional community, cohousing tends to resemble residential neighborhoods with common spaces and shared resources. However, they are more unique than a typical neighborhood and no two cohousing communities look alike. The following 15 articles will give you a peak inside life within cohousing.

In this book you will: 

• learn what is cohousing
• hear from the founders of cohousing leaders in North America
• get a peak inside a number of cohousing communities and what makes them unique
• glean insight from lessons learned along the way

You will recognize authors leading the intentional community movement, representing cutting-edge thinking and how-to explorations of the social, ecological, and economic aspects of sustainable living.

1. The Face of Cohousing in 2005: Growing, Green, and Silver
2. Joining a Cohousing Community: Risks and Rewards
3. From Cohousing to Ecovillages: A Global Feminist Vision?
