Potluck around the fire at Great Cape Tiny Village -- future community on Cape Cod! Great Cape Tiny Village Brewster, MA May 6, 2023 6:00 PM (EDT) 9:00 PM (EDT) Pre-development (Have site, no construction yet) Potluck this Saturday evening fire starts around six come down check it out The 15 acre property known as the great cape tiny village will probably be listed for sale soon. The co-op still has a possibility of buying the property but it’s getting slimmer and slimmer. I personally feel like we are missing an opportunity to make something really special. Ever since my 20s I’ve been envisioning communities where my kids could interact with the same people at the same place and have a solid foundation to understand what it is to be human  I will still pursue building communities even if this property sells, but man what a special place this could be if we all got together and bought it as a community. Private property open to the public It’s not just what Brewster needs it’s what the world needs -- David Schlesinger

Cohousing Open House weekend wrap-up/EcoVillages at East Bay Permaculture Guild May potluck East Bay Cohousing Oakland, CA May 8, 2023 630 PM (PDT) 8:30 PM (PDT) Other Let’s talk Sustainable Community: EcoVillages & Cohousing at the May monthly second-Mondays East Bay Permaculture Guild Potluck Gathering Come join us for our monthly meeting and potluck, and find out about some of the highlights of this weekend’s National Cohousing open house events (we look forward to hearing about ones you visited!) Cohousing communities, intentional neighborhoods designed for community and sustainability, bring together private homes with large shared areas. Research has found they start green and get greener. Folks work together to plant edible landscaping, grow food, cook together, and live richer, simpler lives through shared meals and mutual support. They form the key building blocks of EcoVillages, neighborhoods designed for sustainability, part of the original inspiration for what we today call permaculture. So much more is possible when you know your neighbors and some (if not all) share a passion for living well together and reducing our impacts while getting closer to the earth. If you’ve studied permaculture formally, you’ll recognize that it all begins with “Zone Zero,” the social and physical structures that make our homes. Following a short presentation, we will have large and small-group discussions about the intersection of permaculture, EcoVillages, and cohousing, and what we vision for ourselves and our communities. Hear about new initiatives for community that’s affordable and share how established communities are bringing about individual and collective transformation, within and beyond their borders.

Cohousing (UK) Cafe: Housing for Hope and Wellbeing with author Flora Samuel UK Cohousing Network London May 8, 2023 12:00 PM (EDT) 1:30 PM (EDT) Other Prestigious academic and author Flora Samuel will discuss her book Housing for Hope and Wellbeing and reflect on the cohousing movement. The book is written for a lay audience (with policy makers firmly in mind) and offers a useful and intelligible overview of our housing system and why it is in ‘crisis’, while acting as an important reminder of how housing contributes to social value, defined as community, health, self development and identity. Flora argues for a holistic digital map-based planning system that allows for the sensitive balancing of the triple bottom line of sustainability: social, environmental and economic value. She sets out a vision of what our housing system could look like if we really put the wellbeing of people and planet first, as well as a route map on how to get there. Written primarily from the point of view of an architect, the account weaves across industry, practice and academia, cross cutting disciplines to provide an integrated view of the field. The book focusses on the UK housing scene but draws on and provides lessons for housing cultures across the globe. Illustrated throughout with case studies, this is the go-to book for anyone who wants to look at housing in a holistic way. Author: Flora Samuel is a British architect, author and academic. IN 2009 she became the Head of the School of Architecture at Sheffield University, the first woman to hold this post. She has worked for 10 years at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff and is presently Head of Architecture at the University of Cambridge. Learn more about the UK Cohousing Network

Cohousing (UK) Cafe: Housing for Hope and Wellbeing with author Flora Samuel UK Cohousing Network London May 8, 2023 12:00 PM (EDT) 1:30 PM (EDT) Other Prestigious academic and author Flora Samuel will discuss her book Housing for Hope and Wellbeing and reflect on the cohousing movement. The book is written for a lay audience (with policy makers firmly in mind) and offers a useful and intelligible overview of our housing system and why it is in ‘crisis’, while acting as an important reminder of how housing contributes to social value, defined as community, health, self development and identity. Flora argues for a holistic digital map-based planning system that allows for the sensitive balancing of the triple bottom line of sustainability: social, environmental and economic value. She sets out a vision of what our housing system could look like if we really put the wellbeing of people and planet first, as well as a route map on how to get there. Written primarily from the point of view of an architect, the account weaves across industry, practice and academia, cross cutting disciplines to provide an integrated view of the field. The book focusses on the UK housing scene but draws on and provides lessons for housing cultures across the globe. Illustrated throughout with case studies, this is the go-to book for anyone who wants to look at housing in a holistic way. Author: Flora Samuel is a British architect, author and academic. IN 2009 she became the Head of the School of Architecture at Sheffield University, the first woman to hold this post. She has worked for 10 years at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff and is presently Head of Architecture at the University of Cambridge. Learn more about the UK Cohousing Network

Private property open to the public It’s not just what Brewster needs it’s what the world needs -- David Schlesinger

Cohousing Open House weekend wrap-up/EcoVillages at East Bay Permaculture Guild May potluck East Bay Cohousing Oakland, CA May 8, 2023 630 PM (PDT) 8:30 PM (PDT) Other Let’s talk Sustainable Community: EcoVillages & Cohousing at the May monthly second-Mondays East Bay Permaculture Guild Potluck Gathering Come join us for our monthly meeting and potluck, and find out about some of the highlights of this weekend’s National Cohousing open house events (we look forward to hearing about ones you visited!) Cohousing communities, intentional neighborhoods designed for community and sustainability, bring together private homes with large shared areas. Research has found they start green and get greener. Folks work together to plant edible landscaping, grow food, cook together, and live richer, simpler lives through shared meals and mutual support. They form the key building blocks of EcoVillages, neighborhoods designed for sustainability, part of the original inspiration for what we today call permaculture. So much more is possible when you know your neighbors and some (if not all) share a passion for living well together and reducing our impacts while getting closer to the earth. If you’ve studied permaculture formally, you’ll recognize that it all begins with “Zone Zero,” the social and physical structures that make our homes. Following a short presentation, we will have large and small-group discussions about the intersection of permaculture, EcoVillages, and cohousing, and what we vision for ourselves and our communities. Hear about new initiatives for community that’s affordable and share how established communities are bringing about individual and collective transformation, within and beyond their borders.
