Cohousing is:

• The combination of self-contained dwelling units with shared facilities
• A brilliant way to enjoy both individual privacy and the benefits of community
• A lifestyle which can be more affordable and more ecological
• How 5% of all Danish households live
• Rapidly gaining interest in the UK

The Threshold Centre is one of the few cohousing projects up and running in the UK, and the first to gain planning permission for a full mixed-tenure scheme with a housing association. We have been at Cole Street Farm since 2004. Here we aim both to embody and teach sustainable living, including aspects such as food, travel, home energy and community. We can share not only our own experience with you but also what we have learnt from the many other cohousing groups we are in touch with. In this weekend you can experience life in a cohousing community, and learn how to create a cohousing project.

The content will be tailored to the needs of participants. Whether you are just starting your exploration, or in the perplexing thick of it, and whether you're an interested individual or already part of a group, we aim to help you with your questions. The weekend is led by core group members of the Threshold Centre, with many years' experience of sustainable community living.
