This is a group for anyone interested in exploring the possibilities of urban cohousing/coliving and other intentional communities.
We hope to share ideas and tips on how to structure communities to combat the ills of modern urban living: lack of affordability, social isolation, expensive childcare and other services for individual nuclear families, generational segregation and aging, and disconnection from community and nature. This will run the gamut from principles to practical (financing, legal structure, architectural design, retrofitting).
Whether you have an established community and would like to connect with other communities to share ideas/solutions or are interested in learning more and maybe finding future partners for your own cohousing/coliving community, we look forward to meeting you!

You're invited: Discover Newark DE Cohousing - Free Intro Session
·En líneaEn línea1 asistente de 4 gruposCurious About Cohousing? Join Our Free Virtual Intro Session!
Imagine a neighborhood where people actually know their neighbors—where shared meals, mutual support, and everyday connection are part of daily life.
Newark Area Cohousing is a forming, multigenerational cohousing community in the Newark, Delaware area, and we’d love to introduce ourselves.
Cohousing is an intentional way of living that blends fully private homes with thoughtfully designed shared indoor and outdoor spaces—from a common house with a large kitchen and dining area to gardens, pathways, and gathering spots. It’s not a financial or legal structure, but a people-centered approach to community, shaped and governed by the residents themselves.
Neighbors come together to cook, play, share tools, care for common spaces, and support one another—creating a vibrant, connected place to call home.
✨ Register to Join our free virtual intro session to:- Learn what cohousing really looks like day to day
- Meet others who are curious about collaborative living
- Ask questions and see if this community might be right for you
Whether you’re actively exploring cohousing or just starting to wonder if there’s a better way to live, we welcome you.
Check it out. We look forward to meeting you.

new date TBD: The Dr. is IN! Finding Unity in Community: Consensus Q&A (Virtual)
·En líneaEn línea48 asistentes de 20 grupos(this is just a placeholder to keep it on the calendar until the new date is set)
The 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.
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.
Please join us for this fun event! Sign up on this Meetup or via the Mid-Atlantic Cohousing website: https://www.MidAtlanticCohousing.org/ or Text CONSENSUS to +19252815643
NOTE: After signing up, you will see the link to the zoom room. Do not lose the link! Put it in your calendar.
Looking forward to meeting you!
