Good meeting facilitation can mean the difference between a struggling and a thriving cohousing community.  Having an outside facilitator allows everyone to be a participant and provides neutrality as well as new perspectives and tools. 

There are also universal themes that each community must resolve, any my training experience at six different communities has given me a solid understanding of the issues that you face every day.  For example, you may have heard of "the five P's"--participation, parenting, pets, pesticides, and paint--that inevitably come up.

Besides designing and facilitating key meetings, I can also contribute to your facilitation team's development.  Together we can optimize the processes that support a healthy, functional community.
