Welcome! On Saturday May 4th and Sunday 5th 2024, cohousing communities across the country will open their doors to neighbors, friends from their surrounding communities and others interested in learning more about Cohousing. National Open House Days is cohousers’ chance to share the story of cohousing – who we are, how we live, and why we love this way of life.
Below is a growing list of events happening across the US and sometimes other places too! There are both virtual and in-person events, as well as gatherings coordinated by regional groups or clusters of communities. Events listings are organized alphabetically by state and separated into virtual/in-person categories. Note: Each column is sortable and remember the Search box is your friend! We hope those features help some of you! 🥳

(from 'Sweet home Chicago') Strawberry Fields Farm is an intentional community in the forming stages.

Who are we looking for? • Musicians who can milk goats (for the White Russians) • Programmers that can automate a Food Forest (except the eating, that will be done by humans) • Young families that can get along • Older & wiser types that can recruit the younger ones • Folks that don't get the concept of retirement • Disillusioned real estate professionals into gold mining • A world-class blues harp player • Insert you own category here Agenda is introductions and discussions about what we could pull off, when and how. The book “Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages" would be helpful to be familiar with. For details, get in touch through the contact form on our website. |
