Creating cohousing: workshops led by members of the Threshold Centre
Dates:
The Threshold Centre is one of the handful of cohousing projects established so far in the UK. While many exploratory cohousing groups have met for several years without getting started, The Threshold core group formed in February 2004, and bought Cole Street Farm in November 2004. In this weekend, you can experience life in a fledgling 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 two of the six founders of The Threshold Centre, all with many years' experience of sustainable and community living.
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
