Investigating Co-Housing

[errantember]

Every wanted to live in an intentional community, eco-village, or permaculture co-op? This Sunday from 3-5 PM, Austin's own Kaleidoscope Village is hosting a Conversation Cafe to help educate people about their community. Kaleidoscope is a long-time project to create a sustainable co-housing village including a group house and kitchen, car-free interior, organic gardens, rain catchment, and much more. Unlike many projects of it's kind, it's actually *happening* thanks to years of dedicated effort by it's proponents. For more details, see the website. If I were not working on my own, much smaller permaculture co-op here in south Austin, this is where I'd be looking to live.

Here are the details:

Hello -

As part of the orientation process for Austin Cohousing and
Kaleidescope Village, potential new members are asked to attend a
conversation cafe to discuss with each other and with existing members
how their own lifestyles, goals, etc. match with those of Cohousing.

The next Conversation Cafe will be:

Sunday, January 11th, 3:00 to 5:00
Carol Swicker's house - 4701 Richmond Ave, Austin 78745
(512) 567-7342

Please email to cswicker@frontsteps .org or by phone if you are planning
to attend.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Carol

efffie and I are involved with KV and will likely be putting on an offer on one of the units when they are finished with construction (2009).

What's your project?

I'm turning my house into a co-op.
