What we’re about
Cohousing in Marin is here!
Boomer Cohousing, (formerly Marin Senior Cohousing) is a forum for people 55+ interested in forming a Cohousing Development in Marin. Supported by a dedicated core team researching possible sites and laying the groundwork for our first development, Boomer Cohousing provides education, information, outings and community development.
In electing Marin for this ground breaking village we see the enormous opportunity for creating a creative housing option for the Baby Boom generation.
Join us to learn more, meet the people making it happen and just have fun!

•OnlineThe Doctor is IN! Finding Unity in Community: Consensus Q&A (Virtual)
Online1 attendee from 20 groupsThe Cohousing "Doctors" are coming in from the golf course to talk to YOU!
Mid Atlantic Cohousing (MAC) will reprise its popular and well-attended The Doctor is IN! event on Saturday, November 15, 2022, 2pm-3:30pm EST (1:00p Central, 12 Noon mountain, 11 AM PST).
Our panel of "Doctors" will happily answer your questions about decision-making in cohousing and other collaborative community living:
- What are the myths we share about consensus?
- What have we experienced good and bad in our group process?
- What simple steps make it possible to move forward?
- What is different about how you operate at different stages of community building, from forming, during development, to move-in?
- How do you get new members up to speed on community culture and process?
- How can you avoid folks promising "block" feeling like a veto?
- How does initial and ongoing training make a difference?
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 are 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 -- to meet the one and only Attending Doctors, deeply experienced in different phases of community:
- Martie, Liberty Village
- Daisy, Eastern Village Cohousing
- Lorraine, Burning Soul, forming Newark (Delaware) Cohousing
- Raines, Cohousing Coach, Cohousing Open network, living in Berkeley (California) Cohousing
All are Members of the Board of Directors for MAC.
Other "Doctors" may join us as their golf games end ...With all those questions above and your questions at hand, the "Doctors" will address the all-important social side of community, and how we use Consensus decision-making to do more than any of us thought possible.
