The Joys and Challenges of Intergenerational Cohousing
Presenters: Ronnie Rosenbaum
Audiences:
Emerging Communities, Thriving Communities, Cohousing Professionals
Time: Saturday 11:00-11:45
A panel of youth, adults, and seniors from two cohousing communities will explore the impact that living in intergenerational cohousing has upon day-to-day life experiences, communication, and community. What happens when people in a variety of life stages live together? How does that enrich the lives of the community members? What are the differing needs of families with young children, teens, young adults, adults without children, and elders? What conflicts arise, and how are they handled?
Living in an intentional community in the 1970s, Ronnie Rosenbaum moved into cohousing in 1997. Then the mother of two teenagers and now a grandmother, Ronnie is a mediator for families dealing with life transitions. She is also the executive director of a nonprofit agency providing restorative justice and conflict resolution services.
