Cohousing-L Mailing List: A presentation on Cohousing through the lens of Group Works

[Daniel Lindenberger (daniel]

Hi Folks,

Just posting this in case some find it interesting. The following youtube
video is of a presentation I gave last month at the Vancouver Cohousing
Forum, where I used the Group Works deck (creation of Tree Bressen's  Group
Pattern Language Project team) as a way to discuss some of what makes
cohousing different from mainstream living through the lens of group
dynamics.

It's a first try at this sort of mapping of cohousing, and I'd be
interested to know how it sits with other cohousers.

Two Notes:
- I reference "Howard" a few times, meaning Howard Staples, founder of
Windsong cohousing where I live, who had just spoken before me.

- The video cuts off for about 45 seconds near the end, which is why
there's a jump. The slide overlay is hasty.

Cheers,
Daniel
