Cohousing-L Mailing List: Orientation Approaches

[Zev Paiss (zevpaiss]

Greeting Pare,
Training future resident at a distance is challenging as you are experiencing. 
At SHIFT Esperanza here in Costa Rica we emphasize the importance of coming to 
Nosara so they can experience the property, meet the development team, and 
engage in productive discussions and learnings face-to-face. For any community 
gearing up outside the US one of the critical steps is are they willing to 
travel?

We have also found that a “buddy” system is very helpful to assist new members 
to understand and really take in the guidelines and practices of the emerging 
community.
