Agenda:

Unlike the July and September meetups in San Francisco, which were for everyone interested in various types of cohousing/ecovillages in San Francisco, this meeting is only for people interested in buying one or more buildings soon, probably as tenants in common, and using the common area for joint unschooling/homeschooling by residents and their guests, along with other activities. Although it will be mostly of interest to families who unschool their children and would like to live close to other such families, it may also be of interest to people who support self-directed learning and would like to live in cohousing where there are often many children playing/learning in the common area.

The people who have shown the most interest in this type of cohousing are also very interested in permaculture, so we hope it will grow into something that could be called an ecovillage. We will try to start with at least two adjacent buildings or an extra-wide building, but we are prepared to start with only one multistory building and try to take down fences in the future, as cohousing groups have done in Davis and Oakland.

This group had meetings in December and January and has begun a visioning process based on the book Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities, by Diana Leafe Christian (DianaLeafeChristian.org/Creating.html).

***Children will be welcome at the meeting as long as the adults can still hear each other easily. If the children get too restless, some of the parents could take them to the park across the street or, possibly, to a nearby empty meeting room.***
