Cohousing-L Mailing List: National Open House Weekend May 6-7

[Trish Becker-Hafnor (trish]

On May 6-7, 2023, cohousing communities across the country will open their 
doors to neighbors and friends from their surrounding communities. National 
Open House Weekend is our chance to share the story of cohousing  - who we are, 
how we live, and why we love this way of life. There are two ways to engage 
with this weekend:


1) Host a gathering of your own. Events can be virtual or in-person, and we 
welcome participation from existing, forming and regional groups. Submit your 
event here: https://www.cohousing.org/open-house-2023/


2) Attend an Open House in your area, or virtual event anywhere! Our list of 
events will be updated regularly, so check back often to see what’s happening:

We are offering many resources to support our hosts, including a Host Kit to 
help you plan and market your event and a Pep Rally on April 26 from 4-5:30pm 
MT (register here: https://bit.ly/cohopep). We will provide detailed 
information on how to market your event, capture stories of the day (and use 
them to support the cohousing movement) and how to use the latest cohousing 
research to amplify your message. Anyone from a host community is welcome!
