About us
https://www.ted.com/talks/grace_kim_how_cohousing_can_make_us_happier_and_live_longer
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!

Seniors in Cohousing Forum: Sharing Challenges & Best Practices (Boulder, CO)
Silver Sage Village Senior Cohousing, 1650 Yellow Pine Ave, Boulder, CO 80304, USA, Boulder, CO, US38 attendees from 6 groupsAs seniors living in cohousing neighborhoods, we've all come to experience the joys and challenges of community. We have homes, Common Houses, and physical and social structures designed, in some cases decades ago, for ourselves at an earlier age, with different priorities and needs than what we are experiencing today.
The realities of aging in community often unfold in ways that weren't anticipated. What are cohousing communities--both intergenerational and senior--doing to navigate these challenges and be resilient?
EXPLORE WITH US in a day-long interactive Forum featuring senior residents from various communities, sharing best practices, challenges and what we have learned about the important issues of aging in community.
For each key topic, we envision a circle of 8-15 speakers from a range of communities—plus interested listeners. Facilitators will bring in a variety of different communities' perspectives on key topics identified based on suggestions from participants and their communities, and by you, with the survey below, open to all.| When: | Sunday, October 25, from 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM |
