A while back I mentioned cohousing to a woman who is a psychologist. She first got it confused with the "communes of the sixties" and thought it was a movement in decline. So I explained it in more detail. I saw her again later and she handed me a copy of an article she had come across about cohousing: The Cohousing Option by Mark Fearer which was in the magazine _Mothering_ in the Winter 1994 issue. pg 105 The article is 3 pages long plus a 1 page accompaning article by Deborah Hyman of the WindSong Cohousing Association in British Columbia, Canada. The article does a good job of describing the community feel of cohousing. It is the sort of article that Judy Baxter lamented the absense of on Cohousing-L. Judy observed that Cohousing-L tends to discuss the problemms and the details of getting it organized and built rather than the joys that activists tend to take for granted. I am not familiar with the publication _Mothering_ (I just got a copy of the article). My wife thinks it is found in food coops and "new age" book stores. As it happens Mark Fearer is a Cohousing-L subscriber (tho I dont think he has posted to the list). Congratulations Mark. Fred -- Fred H.
