Presentation about Cohousing The slide presentation given at our open meeting on 14th
October
2005 can be seen in several formats. (The first in html is recommended.) What is Enlinca?We are a group of people living in or near Cambridge who are exploring options and possibilities of forming a Cohousing community. We have been meeting monthly since mid-2000 during which time we have learned about and clarified our ideas on Cohousing. We have visited a number of existing communities elsewhere in the UK, and this has helped give shape to our vision.What is Cohousing?Cohousing is about a group of households choosing to live close together and share additional facilities for mutual benefit. Each household has its own completely self-contained dwelling and has access to communal facilities. Cohousing is not "communal living" or another word for "commune", but a community built to facilitate the cooperation of neighbours. It is already well established in Denmark, the USA and the Netherlands although relatively new in the UK. There are a few established schemes and many groups in the process of starting. Our visionOur wish is to live as sustainably as we can, with a strong sense of community and mutual support, ensuring individual privacy and need for space while sharing some communal facilities. You can read more in our full Vision Document. Joining EnlincaIf you would like to receive Emails announcing important Enlinca events please go to the mailing list page and follow the instructions.
