Meet the members:
some personal profiles.
 |
Hi--I am Liz, a mother of 3 grown-up children,
divorced, shortly to retire from my nursing and counselling career. I love
light, laughter and music, my cats and all natural things-especially
countryside life and happenings. Travel, meeting new people and experiencing
different cultures is an enjoyable and stimulating part of my life too.
I have lived with groups of friends (and my family) in loose communities
for most of my life and to be a member of an intentional Cohousing group with
it's own ethos and values will continue that pattern of friendship and
meaningful co-operative living. |

Brighid: I am 73 years young, and retired from
being a financial administrator in a very ethical co-operative firm that
designed and made scientific instruments for agriculture in the third
world. Originally a Maths graduate who became a pioneer computer
programmer in 1951, I now have a reluctance to get involved with todays
technology. I have always had a pioneering spirit, and have often dreamed
of living in a community, preferably an eco-village. I have many other
interests, including storytelling, theatre, circle dancing, bridge,
crosswords, painting, Chi Kung, healing and all forms of complimentary
medicine. I have two children and two grandchildren. I
separated from my husband more than 25 years ago, have lived alone ever since,
and am now a widow growing old disgracefully! |

Gemma: Im
very, very mature, and divorced, with three grown-up children. I work as a
freelance editor and proofreader, and am also a qualified EFL teacher. I
do my best to play a viola and an English concertina, and am learning to
tap-dance. English traditional music and dance, and the welfare of
the countryside, are important to me. Im not a
community person, but would value independence within a framework
of mutual support and awareness. |

Robert: I am a
research engineer specialising in electrochemistry (fuel cells and similar
environment friendly technologies). Cohousing attracts me because it seems to
offer all the advantages of community living without the disadvantages such as
living in each others pockets. The most active members of Enlinca are committed
to minimizing their impact on the earth and hold similar open minded spiritual
values which encourages me to keep up the work of being secretary and web
master. My personal website is at www.copcutt.me.uk/ |
