Hi to all the Cohousers who gathered in Sunday 26^th may, and encouragement for those who missed out to join in next time!

I’m wanting to flag orange cards to all who attended this afternoon and to Catherine for hosting us.

This afternoon came at what felt like a low energy time for the group due to other matters and in my experience, it was a tonic.  

Amongst other things, I learned that lots of people joined because of wanting to be part of a ‘conscious community’;

That sharing food together and cooking for others was a draw card for many.

Other attractions were the multigenerational nature of our group; the possibility of sharing tools and resources ( as well as skills).

We learned that several people want to enjoy a garden but personally don’t want to garden due to health or other matters, a boon for those of us who like to garden and won’t personally have one;

That several people first heard about the project via the Trademe ad, and that several people had enticed their friends and colleagues along.

And once again, we assembled a very delicious shared meal without a lot of angst. I’m encouraged – we can to do this!

Best wishes to you and see you at our next meeting, some time away.

Marianne
