Our panel of "Doctors" will happily answer your questions on anything and 
everything cohousing:

What are the benefits of living in community?
How do I start a group?
How much does it cost to build a cohousing community?
How long does it take to build a cohousing community?
Do I have to share a bathroom or a kitchen?
What if I don’t like my neighbor?
Are pets allowed?
Can I sell my cohousing home when I want to?
Where can I find cohousing communities?

NOTE:  The Doctor Is IN!
... is NOT a tour of any community.  It's a Q&A 
session designed to support the work of those who are Forming, Building or are 
Living in a cohousing community. Inquirers, seekers, the curious ... old hands, 
new hands ... all are welcome at this Zoom meeting. To wit, MAC invites YOU -- 
no matter where you live, or what stage in your dream you find yourself -- to 
meet the one and only Attending Doctors, with over 60 years of experience 
listed:

SPECIAL GUEST DOCTOR:  Raines Cohen, Cohousing Coach and National Cohousing 
Open House Days co-organizer, will join us from Berkeley, California, where he 
lives at Berkeley Cohousing and helps groups regionally organize.
