> Start with exploring what your common purpose is and work > toward a mission statement when your group is more solid. I agree with this. You can do something simple like, ask each person to write something about what they envision for themselves and why each wants to be part of cohousing. Each new person can look at the current ones and write theri own. You'll soon ge a picture. So start with individuals, which will eventually feed into a group mission. Perhaps the people who are currently there can make a rough/draft list of elements, eg sutainability principles or aim for consensus, without getting into the detail. You'll have something to give new people. It's a bit of a courting process at the early stage.

Overtly stating the L word came as a bit of a surprise and was a wonderful moment when it happened. _______________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list Cohousing-L [at] cohousing.org Unsubscribe and other info: http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/cohousing-l
