Living in community
Simply because we need each other.
Raising kids
In today's world, we're under immense pressure to excel in all areas of life: professionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually. We strive to be passionate, healthy, and responsible, all while taking on the significant responsibility of raising a family.
Yet, despite all this effort, many of us feel more isolated than ever. The shift away from rural living has led us to lose the community support that once came from our tribes and villages.
Our current societal model falls short when it comes to raising children. The saying goes, "It takes a village." So why not create that village together? Let's explore ways to live in community and support each other in this journey of parenting and life.
Senior living
It seems that, eventually, most of us will find ourselves living in a community—most commonly, a senior care facility. For many, this represents a failure, a last resort when there's no other choice. We end up living with strangers, something we've never done before and may not know how to navigate gracefully or with enthusiasm. Yet, it's a reality we can't escape.
So if we know that communal living is inevitable, why not start practicing now? Let’s turn this inevitability into a conscious choice, embracing the opportunity to build meaningful connections and community before we’re left with no other option.
Multi-generation co-living
Recognizing that communal living becomes inevitable as we age—whether in senior care facilities or otherwise—I dream of a multi-generational community where people of all ages live together, supporting each other in raising children, and eventually, caring for one another in later years.
At the same time, I value my independence and privacy. So how do we make that work?
SO HOW?
NowHere
I imagine a community centered around a main house designed for collaboration and co-living. This house would feature a kitchen large enough for several families to cook together, equipped with multiple fridges, gas stoves, and everything needed for a bustling culinary space. There would also be areas for laundry, entertainment, books, movies, games, fitness, and more—creating a vibrant hub for communal activities.
Surrounding this main house would be smaller pods—ten, twelve, twenty? Each pod would have a living room, a bathroom, and as many bedrooms as the family needs. Some might have one bedroom, others two, three, or more.
In this way, each family or individual participant enjoys their own private, intimate space while sharing a communal area for food, entertainment, and connection.
