Regional Cohousing Conference: 4/20-4/22 Boulder CO

Discover how you can live a powerful purposeful life in cohousing!

The conference holds the keys to creating a highly functioning cohousing community. There is something for everyone – those exploring the idea, newly forming groups or existing communities.

For Newly Forming Communities: You will learn how to get started, meet the people who can help make it happen, and discover best practices from others who have already made the journey.

For Existing & Newly Forming Communities: You’ll learn from the experts how to attract new members, enable affordability, and improve your community.

For Everyone: You will network with your broader tribe of cohousers and cohousing friends and have fun!

Canadian Cohousing Conference: 4/28-4/29 Vancouver BC

Now more than ever, Canadians are interested in finding creative ways to build environmentally and socially sustainable communities, and cohousing is leading the charge.

For the first time ever in Canada, the Canadian Cohousing Conference will bring together over 200 people from three audiences:

  • Existing cohousing members wanting to bring new skills back to their groups
  • The general public interested in learning more about cohousing
  • Architects, developers, city planners and other professionals interested in developing future cohousing projects

The Canadian Cohousing Conference will run for two days April 28-29, 2018 at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House and SFU Segal Building.
