Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Are there any Kiwis lurking on this list?

[robin.allison (robin.allison]

Hi AnnIt was great to see you and Tina at Earthsong, and reciprocate some of 
the welcome I've had at so many US cohousing neighbourhoods over the years. Yes 
cohousing is finally gaining momentum here, with many groups working on a range 
of projects from urban to rural, seniors, tiny house coho, and including many 
tribal iwi groups looking to regenerate housing on ancestral lands using 
aspects of the cohousing model. Thanks for visiting and helping to weave those 
connections between us.Robin AllisonEarthsong

Vermont inBurlington CoHousing, East Village.Don't know if you will get to 
Whanganui on the West Coast of the NorthIsland at all, but there is a truly
