Our panel of "Doctors" will happily answer your questions on anything and everything cohousing:

  • What are the benefits of living in community?

  • How do I start a group?

  • Our building costs are out of sight! Help!

  • How do you deal with difficult personalities?

  • We're having problems with consensus. Suggestions?

Your questions, observations, comments will be welcomed.

The Doctor Is IN!
... is NOT a tour of any community. Rather, it's a Q&A session designed to support the work of those who are Forming, Building or Living in a cohousing community. Inquirers, seekers, the curious ... old hands, new hands ... all are welcome at this Zoom meeting. To wit, MAC invites YOU -- no matter where you live, or what stage in your dream you find yourself-- come and meet the Attending Doctors, with over 150 years of combined experience listed:

  • Daisy, Eastern Village Cohousing, 20 years working w/ communities; newly living in cohousing, diversity, using technology to create Evergreen presentations -- let technology work for you.

  • Lorraine, Burning Soul for Cohousing of Greater Baltimore, 5 years experience in forming a group; site search; 30 years interested in cohousing.

  • Joel, Architect, Altair Cohousing; 25 years; alternative building models; what happens once you own a site; working with the municipality ... and the neighbors?

  • Raines a.k.a. Mr. Cohousing Encyclopedia, Berkeley Cohousing (California); 35 years; Cohousing Coach; senior cohousing; aging in community; finding a community; what else do you want to know?

All are Members of the Board of Directors for MAC.

With your questions at hand, the "Doctors" will address all things cohousing including but not limited to development models, marketing, outreach and building the community along with building the bricks n' mortar structures.
