I believe that helping people create the intentional neighborhoods known as cohousing communities is key to our economic, environmental, cultural&spiritu
al progress. As a Cohousing Coach and regional organizer, I thrive on the opportunity to connect
I was involved in the development (as a member) of Swan's Market Cohousing back in 1997 and heard about meetings of folks working to create new alternatives. I joined as a backup plan and ended up keeping the group moving forward for the past decade.
Sustainable community living, the seeds of EcoVillages. Connecting with neighbors. Providing mutual support.
I already own a cohousing condo, but I'm eager to work with others to co-create new opportunities around the area.
I'm happy living here at Berkeley Cohousing, although I do miss the urban-downtown vitality of Swan's Market Cohousing in Oakland.

"Hi Raines,
That was a nice hello this morning. Will try and make it out to an event soon.
Thanks,
Jen"
"Berkeley or Bali, near BART or rural nature - now that's a wide range of open-minded community living options! Welcome, Jason, to East Bay Cohousing, where we try to connect our members to a wide range of choices and opportunities for co-creative community."
""less waste, more community, less cars, and some effort" are indeed what cohousing and sustainable community are all about, Jen -- welcome to our group. Keep an eye on our calendar for orientations and open houses that coincide with your visits: http://www.ebcoho.org/calendar/"
"Welcome to East Bay Cohousing, Jean. We're excited about the potential for Transition Towns to use cohousing as a building block for local sustainability and resilience, but most TT activists "aren't there yet" and are focused on whole-city or neighborhood-in-place organizing. I hope you find our group useful from afar. There may someday be cohousing in Florida, some folks I know are working on it."
"Welcome to East Bay Cohousing, Jesse. How can we support your quest for community? Learn more about our group in the About pages: http://www.ebcoho.org/about/"
"Cohousing and other area communities do offer "The best of both worlds--community and alone time," as you put it, but opportunities are few, especially for rentals. Once you're up here, it can be easier to visit and search."
"Deb, I'm following up to see if you made the move to the East Bay you planned for the summer and if you found a community living opportunity in the area. No response necessary, we just like to document successes and keep on working to find connections for our members."
"Welcome to East Bay Cohousing, Katherine. Have you had any luck finding a community living option this Summer?"
"Welcome to East Bay Cohousing, Yvonne. I just got to visit SOL Collective again last month on the bike tour, and if you're up for hosting an EBCOHO gathering there sometime, I'd love to organize one. How goes community living there?"
