If
you could pay $5 for a home-cooked meal to be eaten with 20-50 of your
closest friends and neighbors, how often would you do it?
Every cohousing community has a common house. The common house supplements the individual residents' homes and provides a place for community activities. It's the heart of cohousing community. It's a place for common dinners, afternoon tea, children's games on rainy days, crafts workshops, silent meditation in a prayer area, and numerous other organized and informal activities.
Most cohousing communities share meals in the common house several days per week. If there are enough people in the community, it is possible that just once a month a small group will take turns cooking a meal for the entire community, and then enjoy a meal prepared by other residents for the rest of the month.
Who could benefit from breaking bread with good company a few days a week? Single people tired of eating on the run? Single parents that need a break? Couples with children who are thirsty for adult conversation? Older couples desiring to reconnect with community? You?
Learn more about cohousing, its benefits, and how it can reinvigorate community life. Please join us as Liz Walker discusses her latest book "Choosing a Sustainable Future" on Saturday, May 14, 2011 from 4 - 6 pm at MAS Community Center, 6408 Edsall Road, Alexandria, Virginia.
