Cohousing-L Mailing List: Monday (6/12) - Ecovillages as Regenerative Models for American Housing

[Carolyn Pruitt (carolyn]

Greetings Cohousers,


My name is Carolyn Pruitt, Operations Manager with CohoUS.


On Monday, June 12, from 3:00-4:30pm PT (4:00-5:30pm MT, 5:00-6:30pm CT, 
6:00-7:30pm ET), we will be hosting Ecovillages as Regenerative Models for 
American Housing with Caitlin Cameron.


Ecovillages are intentional communities that center the regeneration of social 
and natural environments. Ecovillages can also be cohousing communities!


We will learn more about this model through the example of Ecovillage at Ithaca 
(EVI). Founded in 1991 to demonstrate an alternative model for American 
housing, EVI provides for our needs for shelter, food, and community while also 
being regenerative for the planet. With the intention of flipping the paradigm 
of detached, single-family suburban housing and car-centric development, EVI is 
centered around land conservation, passive solar and green building methods, 
energy efficiency, local food production, and community-centric design.


This opportunity is included with CohoUS partnership, and is $15 for 
non-partners. (Thrive members can also receive free access to this event using 
a separate discount code)


Register for the event.

Monday’s event is the next in our “Yes, and…” series exploring strategies that 
intersect with cohousing in pursuit of a more cooperative society.


Best,

Carolyn Pruitt
