  • Great for cohousers everywhere!

    I live in co-housing in Massachusetts. I find inspiration in the plans, hopes, and celebrations shared in this podcast. Many of the topics that are covered feel validatingly familiar. Lynn and Kelli have an enjoyable rapport with each other and with their guests. Listening to “Tell me More about Cohousing” helps me connect with the communitarian in myself, which helps me connect more deeply with my own community. Thank you, Lynn and Kelli!
