Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Utah Cohousing/Ecovillage

[Raines Cohen (rc3-coho-L]

Excellent! Glad to see the activity, we've just had queries from  
people interested in investing in cohousing in Utah, so I'll send 'em  
your way.

Can you say more about WHO is involved so far, how many people, is  
this just a personal vision or is it a shared activity? Have there  
been meetings, calls, outreach, etc.? In my experience, "free and  
open discussion" doesn't lead to "practical expression" without some  
kind of leadership or guidance... and if you try to leap directly  
from one to another, all kinds of challenges can emerge.

I was a little confused by the initial post in your YahooGroup being  
from Tuscaloosa -- I thought that maybe it was a "Utah Valley" in  
some other state!

Don't forget to register it through the Coho/US-FIC shared directory  
so people can find the group.

P.S. I was slightly confused to see the YahooGroup post
