I chose community development as my life's work in my 20's. The Meetup lets me share, learn, and create ways to help people connect and make their dreams real.

Friendly neighbors, a great place to live with more space than I could afford on my own. Opportunities to share -- launchpads for sustainable living.
I currently live in Berkeley Cohousing.
with diverse neighbors rejoicing in one another's creative passions and livelihood.
"Planning for Sustainable Communities is my business - we help people find, organize, grow, and sustain cohousing neighborhoods."
We're trying to be a hub for community connections, a networking forum for shared living resources of all sorts: cohousing, co-ops, EcoVillages, group houses -- you name it. We bring in guest speakers, do slide shows and movie nights, and highlight openings in existing communities, but the #1 thing people are most looking for is other people on the same journey, to learn from each other and go down the path together. Come, learn, explore, and get the support you need.

"Welcome to East Bay Cohousing, Sarah. Our members tell us they were delighted and surprised not just by the lovely potential Potrero Hill cohousing site we visited, but by the strong sense of community and neighborhood we found. We're planning some more visits and meetings to see if we can help make this happen there."
"Hi Vera,
Welcome! What brings you to ebcoho.org this morning? Me I've got a project and a deadline, but thought I'd check out the meetup to post two great upcoming events!
When you have a chance, do fill out the profile so we all can get to know you a little better. If you haven't already, check out the polls, member discussions and past events. 2010 is becoming an exuberant explosion of opportunities. We really are all creating cooperative culture here!

"Hello All: I saw Joani's ad for dog/house sit on the Cohousing-L site & when I spoke w/her she mentioned EBCH so that's how I found you. My husband & I are very interested in co-housing & I hope to housesit somewhere to get the feel for it. We went to Antioch College in the 70s & cohousing feels like Antioch grownup. We have 20 yr old twins so very soon want to make this switch. Thx 4 this forum."
"Thanks, Betsy, Raines, and Dan, for the informative and warm gathering yesterday at Dan's 611 Ecovillage community.
Can you please post some info about the 5 unit mini-cohousing opp. in North Berkeley? I couldn't access any info off of the calender page.
Thanks so much!
Amos"
