Hi Everyone, 

CohoUS has two spring programs taking place next week! The first is Creative 
Financial Strategies, which takes place on Tuesday, March 19 at 4pm MT. 

Join us for a presentation by Polestar Gardens, an educational non-profit, on 
the vision and development of Polestar Village—a 20-acre intentional 
neighborhood in Fort Collins, CO. Rooted in the values of “Spirit, Community, 
and Lifelong Learning,” Polestar Gardens invites like-minded individuals to 
co-create a unique living experience. 

The cost is $30, free for CohoUS members. Register the event at 
https://cohousinginstitute.org/product/creative-financial-strategies-lessons-from-a-nonprofit-cohousing-community/

Then on Wednesday, 3/20, we're hosting Diversity 101: Microaggressions, which 
takes place at 4pm MT. 

Join instructor Crystal Byrd Farmer to begin your journey toward inclusivity 
with this interactive workshop on microaggressions–those subtle, everyday 
slights that often go unnoticed but profoundly impact marginalized individuals 
in their engagement with the world. 

In this workshop, we will explore key aspects of identity, including race, 
gender, sexuality, class, and disability, and shed light on the specific 
microaggressions associated with each. Understanding that biases vary and that 
individuals may experience and respond to microaggressions differently, we will 
discuss the nuanced nature of bias and its impact. Finally, we’ll discuss 
practical strategies for addressing microaggressions without shame, fostering 
an environment that encourages growth and understanding.

The cost is $60, free for CohoUS members. Register the event at
