Chuck Durrett'sTrip to Europe, September 2023

My talk in Sólheimar Ecovillage, Iceland
ICELAND
The first leg of my trip in Iceland was full of inspiration and thought-provoking discussions. I am more dedicated than ever to rapidly write the book about the nexus between the well-being
of folks with autism and their well-being by virtue of community, versus being isolated as is too often. This was my second time visiting Sólheimar Ecovillage, a model community for
people with autism, Down syndrome, and other special needs. The care and love that they have for each other is palpable, and I know that so many people all around the world could benefit
by living in a place like this. Through my time spent with the residents and the staff there, the benefits of living in an inclusive community for people of all abilities really sunk
in. To help foster more neurodiverse communities like Sólheimar, I’m writing a book called One Life: Live It, that will feature how it started, how it functions today, and how more
communities like this can be built. Reach out if you have recommendations for psychologists/specialists in the realm of special needs housing who might be interested in collaborating
with us on this book.
Like anywhere, there’s room for better physical design at the Ecovillage. For example, the environment could be tighter-knit, with buildings closer together. Filling in the gaps with
housing for staff and volunteers is the future.
I also ventured in and around the capital Reykjavík. One of the best cohousing presentations was to the Iceland Architects’ Association. They were engaged and enthusiastic! There has
long been interest in starting new cohousing in Iceland, and now there are numerous architect/activists ready to get it started. The book Cohousing Communities: Designing for High-Functioning
Communities <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDi6ITi1daVSYY1aZtcpo4W-2ba5ppWIMsdMFBgdiBu8jefFWq0txoz73Vv3fhXXo12DUfa5Ncx7eoJ2HIEJlLk9QOr1j748KKBtVRPDRpIVUJjabeuaOhJx9--tg-w8bHOBHy3gdTAO0EB68YDnPjYyZ

My talk at Lund University. The students were lively and curious!
SWEDEN
On Tuesday, September 12th, I presented to students and professors at the School of Architecture at Lund University, Sweden. Thanks to Andy Karvonen with Urban Arena for hosting us.
The University was ready and willing and able to embrace more cohousing. They recognize that the early enthusiasts in Sweden have subsided, and are happy to embrace a new era of design
with streamlined quality-making at the core.

Common dinner at Trudeslund, Birkerød.
DENMARK
Denmark was the highlight. I had a wonderful time visiting one of my favorite cohousing communities, Trudeslund, where I lived for 6 months back in 1984-85. Had an amazing dinner with
my old neighbors in the common house (about 50 people attended) and a subsequent discussion about Danish and North American cohousing. They just celebrated their 43-year anniversary
and still have common dinner there seven days a week! It’s a testament to successfully designed cohousing’s staying power.
<https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif> <https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/04f10608-9513-4f42-a03b-43dad90d24d9.jpg>
Before common dinner, a couple other “Truders” and I walked down the block and visited the very small, 6-unit cohousing of Tornevangsgaarden (built in 1978). This happens to be the one
that I walked by everyday on my way to the University of Copenhagen. Walking by Tornevangsgaarden in 1980 showed me how truly different living in cohousing is from living in status
quo “brand X” type housing, and it's a big part of what started this story.
We were in the middle of the common green, when a young woman named Iben walked out to see who we were, what we were up to, and to introduce herself. Cohousing dynamics at play for sure!
Iben gave us a wonderful tour around the grounds, inside their common house, and their lovely home.
<https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/2342ee68-9eb3-458b-bcf5-0eb2874d3c18.jpg>
In Copenhagen, I gave a talk to the future architects of Denmark at the Royal Danish Academy. I was a bit intimidated about taking a presentation to Denmark. Ended up doing about 5 or
6 presentations. They were all very welcome. It felt like I was restoring the original intent, high-functioning communities—not just real estate. Hans Skifter Andersen, one of the original
Danish cohousing development consultants called me the guru of cohousing. It was too much really.
I could share the history with them that had been lost. Jan Gudmand-Høyer, Phillip Actantar and others, that were key at the onset. And it was recognized that we had been the only ones
in the country who had spent the time to work with the architects that designed the best site plans, other architects that designed the best common houses, and other architects that
designed the best houses, etc. which was missed in the new designs. They appreciated getting back to their roots of clear criteria-making.
One of the biggest takeaways is the need to find a synergetic and balanced approach for groups working with developers. Groups in Denmark are in the search of smart ways of working together
where the developers are not making too many decisions (and inflicting too many rules) which results in projects taking longer, inappropriate designs, and not enough buy-in to create
successful solutions. Most important is an organized decision-making process: this brings their real values and real experiences to the table, builds community along the way, and builds
a strong group capable of their own management decisions throughout the process.

Chuck presenting at the UK Cohousing Network Summit
The UK
The UK Cohousing Network hosted their first in-person conference in 6 years, and I had the honor of being their Keynote Speaker. It was fun and informative at so many levels (government
participation, UK cohousing participation, local housing councils, developers, lenders, etc.).
Owen Jarvis, CEO of the UK Cohousing Network and simply a wonderful guy, wrote a super summary of the most salient points I made in the keynote <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDi6ITi1daVSYY1aZtcpo4
W-2ba5ppWIMsdMFBgdiBu8jefFWq0txu8FbEIDg1qTED_qN9Kh8ggN03fwOvHQtAIXGsZvp6vUl8Je7mMNpfBgfqauZN4K9UDRgIGJOUkEYLlIntPujcE32xECe2hEK04wTS9eqFHvKYhfV234JD3UdK4jH5aCM51R6a2qoRYB&c=nDdzftcM0DspXyg8551uCvYQpt

* Chuck describes cohousing as first and foremost a cultural act, and then a political act and thirdly as a development act.
* In his new book, he details his co-design process inspired by Danish anthropologists he has worked alongside. Throughout a 12-day/6-workshop process, Chuck remains attentive of the
relationship between design choices and their impact on future lived experience.
* His aim is to create neighborhoods that fit the needs and aspirations of its residents “like a glove” rather than “like a shopping bag” typical of mainstream housing.
* “We want to create high-functioning neighborhoods that help us fulfill our potential. The original Danish design values and group processes are key to doing that.”

Chuck with the Residents of Cannock Mill Cohousing in Colchester, England
With Owen’s guidance and suggestions, I journeyed around the UK to visit four new cohousing communities (Cannock Mill, LILAC, ChaCo, and New Ground). All amazing places in their own
ways, and all were incredibly warm and welcoming.

I hope/expect that the Brits will have me back Summer/Fall of ‘24 to go through the process of designing high quality cohousing. They plan to film the workshops and to make it widely
available. Stay tuned…

As the book Cohousing Communities 's cover implies, it only takes 2 things to build a cohousing community: a vision and a clear set of steps.
These good people took the steps in the deliberate fashion that gets projects built successfully and expeditiously.

Keep up with East Van Cohousing
East Van Cohousing now has great momentum. After securing the contract for their site on Duke St. in early August, they’ve been working with Intelligent City to finalize the design of
the building. The final project will be submitted to the City for approval in November 2023. In the meantime, they’re still looking for great people to join them!

New Forming Cohousing Community in Port Townsend, WA
Successful Public Presentation & Group Discussion
<https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/c47fd9bb-b6a9-42dc-8102-9c261605b077.jpg>
Charles Durrett traveled to Port Townsend, WA on October 11–13th to help a new forming cohousing community get started in their development and design journey.
On Thursday October 12th night following the successful public presentation at the Quimper Grange, the group had a great conversation about affordable cohousing in Port Townsend. This
was followed by another lovely conversation on Saturday morning at Port Townsend Library.
Port Townsend is ready, willing, and able to pull off another State-of-the-Art Cohousing <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDi6ITi1daVSYY1aZtcpo4W-2ba5ppWIMsdMFBgdiBu8jefFWq0txu8FbEIDg1qT_ZC4SRsUqdyII

happiness, or benefit, from the experience of living in cohousing. The book, written by Charles Durrett, with Bernice Gonzalez and Erik Bonnett, is an accumulation of information for
what has worked and what has been difficult for cohousing communities. The book distills lessons learned into what works to create and keep a high-functioning community going.
<https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/22ac49e1-3914-4966-9bc8-220170211c2b.jpg>
Meetings/Facilitation
Community meetings are where most decisions are made so it’s important that everyone’s voice is heard and valued. “The result of a group-based decision-making process in which the merits
of each proposal are discussed then, ultimately, the best solution is found.” The book gives a thorough explanation of how to manage a community through the group process using consensus
and good facilitation. It suggest that everyone in the group should try to facilitate a meeting so they understand the job—and they may find out that they are good at it and want to
continue doing it.
<https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/8efec2e5-14c2-40b3-8318-8ee538059f9c.jpg>
Common Dinners
Common dinners are one of the most important ingredients for creating a nurturing community. And it’s important that everyone joining a cohousing community knows that is expected that
they will cook at least one meal a month while enjoying attending many other meals that others have prepared.
<https://files.constantcontact.com/f6a94a6c001/3f5fb403-89b2-4075-bc50-76810ecc7e66.jpg>
Maintenance
The other subject the book covers is how to maintain the physical community and what those expectations are. Everyone can contribute in some way to maintenance, even by providing snacks
and water to those working.
To make the book even more helpful there are graphics in the back of the book with flow charts that show the processes, such as the Process Flow Chart for Decision-Making and Roles
and Responsibilities.
Although this book is written for people already living in cohousing, it is a great resource to read before jumping into the process of developing a cohousing community. It is helpful
to understand how cohousing works and if it’s a good fit for you. It is also a good resource to learn how to make the best decisions while designing the physical community.
In cohousing, “moments of joy are what make life worth living."
-Review by Kate Nichols
Kate Nichols helped start and build a cohousing community in Bellingham, Washington, and is starting a new one in Port Townsend, WA. For more information about the new cohousing that
she is starting, feel free to shoot her an email at katennichols@yahoo.com <mailto:katennichols@yahoo.com>

Happily Ever Aftering
An excellent resource to share with others what high-functioning cohousing is about. Learn the tools and patterns that have proven successful for living in cohousing. For over four decades
in the US and Europe, communities have achieved and maintained their goal of socially engaged and vibrant cohousing.
This guide makes a great gift for friends and family as well as new members of cohousing communities and people who live in communities that aren’t functioning at their full potential.

Books by Charles Durrett
Books have played a major role from the beginning in terms of getting cohousing to this country and built in your town, starting with our first book Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach
to Housing Ourselves (The European Story). Bookstores normally play a key role in culture change in general, and cohousing is no exception.
Many groups have contacted the publisher (New Society Press and John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) directly to get bulk discounts, and I find that successful projects get started when lots of
folks do this fun homework. I usually need to give a dozen copies of Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDi6ITi1daVSYY1aZtcpo4W-2ba5ppWIMsdMFBgdiBu

local architects, builders, and so on—to give them context. It saves the group thousands and thousands of hours, dollars, and delays, and most importantly makes for a better project.
Cohousing is more than a sound bite; it is cultural pivot, and it takes folks doing some fun research first. Seattle and the surrounding areas have about a dozen cohousing communities
today largely because the bookstores in town have sold more than 1,000 copies of Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDi6ITi1daVSYY1aZtcpo4W-2ba5ppW
