A new couple from Ohio has joined us (that makes two households from Ohio) and we have a new Explorer member from Michigan. We have been working together, holding pot lucks and organizing walks along the Ralston Creek Trail.
We have also been hard at work on our new web site

Ice Cream Social

Our next event is an Ice Cream Social on

Visiting Cohousing

My name is Debbie Fox, and I have been a member of Ralston Creek Cohousing since the fall of 2016. I currently live in Ohio but am planning on retiring in Colorado and living in cohousing. Since my children and grandchildren live in Denver, I visit several times a year. During my last visit in January of this year, I was fortunate to stay at Aria Cohousing in their guest room. Most cohousing communities have one or two guest rooms that are available for guests of cohousing members. I was also able to attend a common meal with the entire community. I was very impressed with the stories I heard from several members about their journeys to cohousing. One couple came to Denver from Philadelphia, where they had been unsuccessful in starting a cohousing community after many attempts. Another member moved from Boston, another from San Francisco. They all came specifically to live in cohousing. Now that's impressive! I am very glad I stayed at Aria. My visit really helped me to envision what it would be like to live in cohousing. If you are at all interested in exploring cohousing, and you have the opportunity to stay in an intentional community, I encourage you to check it out. You can find a directory of US, Canada, and UK listings here National Cohousing Association .




It's not too late to attend the 2018 Regional Cohousing Conference
in Boulder, CO, April 20-22, 2018
There will be many very informative sessions to attend
and an opportunity to tour several existing cohousing communities. Representatives from Ralston Creek Cohousing will be attending.
