This free movie evening will focus on the theme of living in community and the cohousing neighborhood model. The movie showing is sponsored by the national non-profit The Cohousing Association of the United States as a pre-conference event for the 2008 National Cohousing Conference which follows from Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15, 2008, with over 50 workshops on 11 themes plus day tours of Boston area cohousing neighborhoods. Tracks include sustainable living, green building, community, and aging and dying in place in a community setting.
