Cohousing-L Mailing List: Open House tip

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

In response to the woman looking at an inspirational slide show in 
Monterey CA--

One thing I've noticed is that if you have a group gathered with some 
interest in cohousing,  it is good to formalize a way for everyone to 
talk-- a round robin or such-- and share what attracts them, why they 
like the idea, etc. In fact, some people aren't quite sure, but pretty 
soon they are saying things that inspire others, and themselves, and 
build a positive energy. In effect, they can sell each other on the 
attractions of living in community, in addition to what you can offer 
"from the front of the room." They may also say things which will 
generate common interest on the part of a particular other attendee.
