Public Presentation

The Essential First Step to Finding a Group

The cohousing company kicks off each new project with a dynamic, in-depth public presentation designed to introduce the concept of cohousing to local communities and a variety of renditions.

This event Led by Charles Durrett, an expert in cohousing design and development, serves as an informative introduction to the benefits, design principles, and potential of cohousing as an alternative model for living and community-building. The presentation explains the transformative impact of cohousing on individuals, neighborhoods, and society. Charles will discuss how cohousing creates more sustainable, connected, and resilient communities by empowering future residents to be actively involved in both the design and management of their homes. This discussion often sparks the local interest needed to successfully launch the project. This initial presentation is typically held on a Thursday evening. During the conclusion, we warmly invite all who are interested to join us at the follow-up meeting, a day or two later. The follow up meeting is where we will collaboratively explore the next steps toward our shared vision.

Engaging with the community early on can build enthusiasm and support for your project. Hosting informational meetings can provide an opportunity to gather input, address concerns, and rally interest among potential residents. The seminar acts as a launchpad for forming the initial umbrella group, bringing together interested individuals to begin the process of planning and organizing the next steps toward developing a new cohousing community. This inclusive approach not only strengthens your project's foundation but also creates a sense of ownership among future members of the cohousing community.
