| Jonathan Dawson*: " This is an attractive film that tells the story of the modern cohousing movement through the voices of people in Scandinavia and northern Europe who actually live in cohousing settlements. It is accessible, clear, well-structured and should be of great interest, especially to those who are new to the cohousing phenomenon. The many advantages of cohousing life - a strong sense of community, a great place to bring up kids and to grow old, working towards having a lower footprint - are well covered and illustrated. This film is a little gem of simple story-teling." * Jonathan Dawson is the Executive Secretary of GEN-Europe and a sustainability educator at the Findhorn Foundation |
| Craig Ragland*: " Cohousers that have not seen cohousings in Europe will find Voices of Cohousing of interest. It's a wonderful reminder that cohousers around the world align around similar values - a helful remember that we are growing a small world. Seeing this well-produced video was my first look at European cohousing - now I want to go visit in person!" * Craig Ragland is Executive Director of the Cohousing Association in the USA, and a member of Songaia Cohousing |
