What we’re about
Utah Cohousing is a great way to explore the benefits of intentional communities - co-housing, eco-villages and more. Sustainable communities that make life more economical, social, environmental friendly and fun. We believe our housing plays an important role in our quest for happy, healthy and engaged living. We hope to bring together like-minded people to share ideas, foster relationships and build communities.
Our goal is to foster the growth of cohousing communities in Utah. It doesn’t matter if you are interested in cohousing, ecovillages, or co-ops; in multi-generational or elder communities; in urban, rural, small town or mountain living - the initial steps to forming a new community are pretty much the same. We believe that together we can support each other, share in resources, grow and strengthen forming groups, help change policy and zoning regulations and market cooperative/sustainable living in Utah.
Meetings
Utah Cohousing members meet to share ideas and collaborate as much as possible. We welcome new members - please join us to start building a strong foundation here in Utah!

•OnlineThe Doctor is IN! Finding Unity in Community: Consensus Q&A (Virtual)
Online28 attendees from 20 groupsThe Cohousing "Doctors" are coming in from the golf course to talk to YOU!
Mid Atlantic Cohousing (MAC) will reprise its popular and well-attended The Doctor is IN! event.
(Note corrected time, 1 pm EST, 10 am PST. Right after the seniors in cohousing Q&A, in the same zoom room)
Our panel of "Doctors" will happily answer your questions about decision-making in cohousing and other collaborative community living:
- What are the myths we share about consensus?
- What have we experienced good and bad in our group process?
- What simple steps make it possible to move forward?
- What is different about how you operate at different stages of community building, from forming, during development, to move-in?
- How do you get new members up to speed on community culture and process?
- How can you avoid folks promising "block" feeling like a veto?
- How does initial and ongoing training make a difference?
Your questions, observations, comments will be welcomed.
The Doctor Is IN! ... is NOT a tour of any community. Rather, it's a Q&A session designed to support the work of those who are Forming, Building or are Living in a cohousing community. Inquirers, seekers, the curious ... old hands, new hands ... all are welcome at this Zoom meeting. To wit, MAC invites YOU -- no matter where you live, or what stage in your dream you find yourself -- to meet the one and only Attending Doctors, deeply experienced in different phases of community:
- Martie, Liberty Village (long-established and growing)
- Daisy, Eastern Village Cohousing (long-established)
- Raines, Cohousing Coach, Cohousing Open network, living in Berkeley (California) Cohousing
All are Members of the Board of Directors for MAC.
Other "Doctors" may join us as their golf games end ...
With all those questions above and your questions at hand, the "Doctors" will address the all-important social side of community, and how we use Consensus decision-making to do more than any of us thought possible.
