>My questions for the group is this....is living in cohousing like being in an encounter group forever? Do most groups hold hands and sing, etc?? I feel strange asking this but are there some groups that are less "new-agey" and more mainstream? Yes. There is lot of variation. One of the differences between living in cohousing and being on a retreat with a group, is that you probably had little or no privacy at the retreat, while you can have as much as you want when you live in cohousing (though you are likely to need/want less than you think once you are there. Also, if you get involved with the group, you can speak up and let others know that this is not your style (or however you feel) and in all likelihood your opinion will be respected. There may be others in the group that share your discomfort and even if there aren't, you can gradually find a way to live quite comfortably with neighbors who have a different idea of what is fun or inspiring or interesting than you do.
