A small group in Carbondale, CO has been meeting for years as an advocacy group for local causes and for relationship building. Several members have interest in creating a residential intentional community based on ecologically sustainable building, food production on site, and a healing center on site with several alternative modalities. The project has a legal structure set up, but has yet to acquire land. The group has intense interest in bioregional collaboration and many connections to non-profit projects around land conservation and regenerative farming.
My vision is for a nucleus of a creative community forming with 2-4 like-minded kindred spirits somewhere in Northern Arizona (Sedona-Prescott-Flagstaff) through a shared housing experiment inspired by the concept of “scenius” or “communal genius”, which Brian Eno came up with to describe “the intelligence of a whole… operation or group.” Such “scenius” is grounded in a creative collective synergy through the strategic mixing-sharing-pooling of ideas-knowledge-resources-energies. The result is a dynamic possibility space and way of life grounded in the power of We. I hope to launch this Creative Community House in Nov. 2024. Join me!
My dream is to have a medi-spa healing sanctuary with a community garden & chosen family like situation where we share resources and help support each other in our journeys. Moon cycles and ceremonies/celebrations are important to me and I wish to help people be well with my Eastern Medicine skills; acupuncture, massage, potions, lotions, oils, herbs and stones. I just graduated with my master’s in the field & am studying for board exams now. Once licensed, I am my only limitation, and I would like to do amazing work helping people be well. Sail my ship with me?

These cohousing developments listed below are under planning or construction. CoHo BC is in contact with groups of locals who are interested in joint purchase of land to subdivide for individual homes, or for co-purchase of existing housing. Livewell Cohousing consultants put together a guide for groups who decide to hire a developer and make their own cohousing. Also check ic.org for their map of existing or forming-phase communities that may have openings. A google search will often bring up even more cohousing.
