SUMMARY:Resilient Aging and Healthy Housing Options – 4 week course
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, March 22 & 29\, April 5 & 12; 12:30-2:00pm \nFacilitators: Judy Shepalo & Ellen Ryan \nA workshop with four sessions designed to help maturing adults have the conversations necessary to successfully become conscious of the issues common to growing older\, to get out of denial\, and to become proactive in their own aging process. Participants will learn about the many advantages of living in a supportive community such as cohousing and can decide if aging in community is right for them. Key concepts discussed will include interdependence\, compassionate communication\, reciprocal support\, social cohesion\, the environmental and economic impact of cohousing\, the risk of taking charge or doing nothing at all and recognition that we do not outgrow our need for others. \nThis is a repeat of the course offered in 2020 and 2021 – now with a focus on small group discussions. Participants will watch a video tutorial prior to each discussion session. \nPlease spread the word. \nRegister for the Zoom Workshop by contacting Judy Shepalo at cohousinghamilton@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Cohousing 101 – Introductory Webinar
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, December 5\, 10:30am – 12:30pm \nJoin us for an introduction to cohousing and learn how it addresses social isolation\, affordability issues\, sustainability\, co-care and more.

Enjoy new friends\, new skills and improved health in a setting that combines a sense of connection\, cooperation\nand mutual support. The modern version of cohousing was formed in Denmark in the mid-1960s. Since then it has been transformed into a worldwide phenomenon. \nThis webinar is repeated a few times a year. Attendees at earlier sessions should check the website Cohousing Hamilton for other information and opportunities to become involved. \nTo register for Zoom Link\, please contact Judy Shepalo at 905-517-6494 or cohousinghamilton@gmail.com.
