Your community type:

Cohousing Community

Cohousing communities are neighborhoods designed to balance private living with regular social connection. They may be a good fit if you want community as part of your life, without giving up your independence.

You may also resonate with other types—this is a starting point.

 

This type tends to be a good fit if you:

• want your own home while still being part of a community
• value both privacy and regular social interaction
• enjoy shared meals or group activities, but not full-time togetherness
• prefer a more structured, established living environment

Understanding your community type is just the beginning

I wrote a book that walks you through how to find, visit, and choose an intentional community that fits you.

Intentional Community

Choosing Community for Better Housing, Health, and Happiness

  • How to evaluate communities

If you’re serious about finding a community and want help navigating your options, I offer one-to-one community matchmaking.

We’ll look at your situation, preferences, and goals, and identify communities that may be a strong fit.

Learn how to work with Cynthia

Cynthia was masterful. She helped me clarify the intentional communities that fit me, better get to know them, and finally choose one that I’m now a member of. She also raised my cultural understanding of community living to help me launch a new chapter of my life. I have no doubt anyone in a community journey will find great value in her guidance. She is also a deeply warm thoughtful soul to work with.

With expertise, humanity, and intuition, Cynthia asked targeted and guided questions that helped lead me to define and refine what I am seeking in a community. She is personable, easy to relate to and steadfast in her knowledge of intentional communities. I wholeheartedly recommend her to help guide you in your search for a well matched community!

Cynthia proved to be an excellent ally in assisting me in my search for ecovillages and communities. She was super-knowledgeable, thorough, kind, thoughtful, and an excellent listener. She recommended several sites that I had not heard of, many of the which she had visited personally. I felt very inspired and hopeful after our session — her enthusiasm for the regenerative movement is very infectious and genuine, which combined with her experience and commitment made her a great helper for finding the best next steps forward for myself. Five stars!

— ADAM MORRISION

My session with Cynthia was wonderful. She arrived already very well prepared when we started. Due to her extensive community experience, she could offer many insights, provide useful tips and present selected communities to me that she had visited herself. The dialogue also helped me to reflect about what I am looking for in a community… I experienced a safe space where I could express my fears, hopes and expectations regarding life in community and received valuable feedback from on these. Cynthia as very passionate and committed to the topic, very attentive and tuned in to my perspective.

— ANTONIA VON HASSELL

Had an awesome session with Cynthia. The number one community she recommended looks like a perfect match. I could not believe I never heard of it, along with some of the others recommended. Out of potentially thousands of communities, Cynthia matched me with very similar values revealed on their websites. I am in the process of applying to visit the number one recommendation. I’m excited for that & thankful for Cynthia ‘s skills. Beyond well worth.

— TOMMY TEEPLE

The session went really well! I could tell that Cynthia spent some time reviewing my intake form to consider which communities would be best for me. She listened attentively as I described what I was looking for in a community. After she listened, she gave me a concise list of communities that she thought would fit my needs and explained why those communities would work for my needs. Thank you again for this reasonably priced and high quality service. Her recommendations should speed the process of me finding a wonderful Intentional Community to call home.
