What can we learn from the Sound Relationship House (Gottman Couples Therapy ) 
for vibrant lively cohousing communities? (Sarah Arthurs)
A high participation session generating ways to apply the prInciples of The 
Sound Relationship House from The Gottmann Institute to Cohousing 
Neighbourhoods.
Planning Virtual or In Person Retreats for a Cohousing Community During A 
Pandemic (Jennie Lindberg)
Sunnyside Village Cohousing, a forming community in Western Washington, has 
planned and conducted retreats both in person and over Zoom. We will share with 
you how we set goals, organized the day with pacing and breaks, balancing 
business with fun, and resources. We will share with you the differences we 
found between Zoom and in person.
How to regulate your nervous-system to improve connection in cohousing. (Joann 
Lutz)
Recent neuroscience research has shown that our autonomic nervous-system state 
is very influential in determining how well we can listen, think, respond, and 
act. If it is balanced, we can function optimally, offering the warmest and 
most rational and altruistic responses. If it is hyperaroused, in a 
flight-or-fight mode, or underaroused, in a freeze/shut-down mode, our ability 
to connect and participate in community can be compromised. Sometimes the 
dysregulation is subtle, and neither our neighbors, or even ourselves, are 
aware of it. In this workshop, I will teach autonomic nervous-system basics, 
and offer some experiential exercises which can help to balance it.
Chris ScottHanson: Cohousing in Perspective (Raines)
Chris ScottHanson, author of the Cohousing Handbook and part of many cohousing 
projects over the decades, is retiring this month. Many groups have relied on 
the wisdom and approaches to development, formation and building embodied in 
his book, and some have brought him on as a development consultant, project 
manager, or participant. Let's hear from him on what he's learned and enjoyed, 
what challenges he's faced, and what he sees for the future of the cohousing 
movement.
