Jumpstart Your Cohousing Community

REGISTER NOW

Join Mathilde Berthe and Erik Bonnett of Studio Co+Hab, for a 1-hour overview of how to cocreate a cohousing community.

More people than ever are turning to cohousing to reclaim the relational capital and interdependence that traditional communities once offered. As a community founder, you’re a pioneer in a movement that’s changing the social norms of how we live together. There are people waiting for you to bring your vision into the world.

Are you interested in starting your own cohousing community? This FREE session will provide you with a foundational overview of what it takes to create a vibrant cohousing community.

Key outcomes of this webinar:

  • Learn about the relationship between the social, physical, and organizational aspects of cohousing
  • Clarity on whether creating a cohousing community is right for you
  • Meet the instructors and ask questions

If you are ready to dig deeper into co-creating a cohousing community, this session is also a great introduction to Mathilde & Erik’s 5-week Creating a Vibrant Cohousing Community course.

Loved by Community Builders

Teri’s presence, warmth, poise, experience and clarity. I quickly felt at ease and confident that she knew what she was talking about, and could share the material effectively, while also managing the group format. – Jeffrey B

What a beautiful gift to our intentional community builders and leaders! FIC’s programs provide a way for thinking and concerned people to collaborate for solutions to our multitude of global crises. Thank you FIC! – Terri Garcia

I am constantly impressed by the down-to-earth practicality of the FIC workshops combined with the philosophical questions that are so vital for us to explore. I’m grateful for the excellent planning and delivery of the workshops by skilled and inclusive presenters, who create a space that is both welcoming and invites participants to challenge existing ideas and world views. Well done and thank you FIC. – Claire Ogden
