We're taking charge of the last third of our lives by learning together about how to design our own retirement/senior cohousing/ecovillages, with privacy plus community. We're building on our shared wisdom, going beyond 'aging in place' to build connections for Aging In Community, alternatives to loneliness or institutionalization, bringing in the experts so we don't waste our time. Join us in this quest for Audacious Aging, and help us help you design the last home you'll need, one that fits like a glove, not a boot, where you know your neighbors and live sustainably yet with all the privacy you need!

What members are saying
“ To be a part of transforming our perception of aging from a negative to a positive. All of us grow old. Isolation is the worst consequence of that very natural process. ”
“ For community, companionship and realignment/ assertion of an elder consciousness in a culture that is dying from lack of our wisdom. ”
