  • Co-Creating a Thriving Future for the Bay Area: An UnconferenceJoin East Bay Cohousing at a community-crafted gathering to explore community, resilience, restoration, and regeneration both in the San Francisco Bay & Delta and beyond. 

    These are days of darkness & possibility, uncertainty & opportunity. We are calling doers and dreamers from all walks of life to join together and create the story of a thriving future for all life, where we live: the Bay Delta Bioregion, and its many beautiful watersheds and communities. 


    The Question: How do we better collaborate within and across communities and watersheds to co-create a thriving future for all life? 

    In true unconference fashion, the rest is up to you!  Participants will create the agenda. You can propose your own topic and there will be many stimulating sessions to join. 

    Sessions will cover a wide range of topics, such as local food systems, bioregionalism, land stewardship, social justice, solidarity economy, ecological restoration, regenerative practices, Indigenous leadership, storytelling, solarpunk, the "collapse", and cooperation.

    Formats will run the gamut from inspiring conversations to somatic exercises to “roll up your sleeves” problem-solving.

    This event is for everyone whether you’re professionally involved, active as a volunteer and community member,  or curious about how you can contribute.

    Don't miss this chance to experience a transformative and joyful day of networking, connecting, sharing, and action-making. We hope this will be the first of many gatherings that grow the movement to re-imagine a world that works for all life. Together, we will create new pathways for regeneration and resilience in the Bay and beyond.

    Open-House-Weekend-2025.pngWhile this event is not centered on cohousing, many EBCOHO allies are involved and we believe that the topics covered are relevant for anyone creating or living in sustainable community in the East Bay or beyond. We will be participating and offering to host discussions that make these links clearer, and helping people find paths to get the knowledge, experience and connections needed to bring about more communities with more depth in these areas.

    Presented in partnership with:

    Coordinated by Kaliya Young’s unconference facilitation team featuring longtime EBCOHO partner and supporter Ajay Tallam.
