These two events are a once-in-a-lifetime UK opportunity to learn from keynote speakers Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant, award-winning Californian architects who pioneered cohousing in the USA and wrote the cohousing 'bible'.



The conference will also include speakers and workshops from many UK cohousing projects, established and developing.



Charles and Kathryn will also be running 'getting it built', an intensive training day on Sunday 25th. It will explore in-depth the themes from Saturday's conference 'Creating Cohousing Together'.
