Imagine living in a community where your neighbors aren't just people next door, but friends you share values and intentions with. This episode delves into the transformative concepts of coliving and cohousing, exploring how they pave the way for a fairer society. Join us as we speak with Peter Burke, cofounder of Affair Society, whose passion for cooperative living is reshaping the fabric of community life.
In our conversation, Peter shares his journey through the cohousing landscape, highlighting the differences between traditional coliving spaces and cohousing communities. He emphasises the importance of intentional living, where each person has their own space complemented by communal facilities that foster connection and collaboration. We touch on the role of rural coliving in revitalizing communities and how it can reclaim the vibrancy of local areas while providing opportunities for sustainable living.
With a keen focus on innovative governance structures like mutual home ownership societies, we discuss how ownership can evolve from traditional models to encourage collective stewardship and community wellbeing. Peter’s insights on the necessity of social capital in creating inclusive communities are inspiring, prompting us to rethink what home and community mean in today’s world.
Join us on this journey of discovery as we explore the myriad ways communal living can enrich our lives, foster deeper connections, and help build a more sustainable future.
