Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
As highly social, interdependent creatures, many humans love the connection and support they get from living communally. While co-living was not as common during the 20th century across the United States, this form of housing has been alive and well in the Bay Area, e.g. in community house triplexes, multi-family compounds, tiny home villages, ADUs, and third spaces. Through experimentation and hard-earned experience, people have developed new ways of living together and unearthed old ones. However, much of that information is contained within small networks and is not broadly discoverable or accessible.
We aim to change that, and have created this conference to bring together community members from different walks of life to consolidate our collective wisdom into shareable resources that can be distributed and built upon throughout the world. We bring together seasoned practitioners, subject-matter experts, and curious newcomers for a day of discussions, workshops, talks, panels, storytelling, writing, art, and organic connections. The intention is to connect like-minded folks, share both practical skills/learnings and inspiring ideas/visions, and plant the seeds of collaboration to co-create an inclusive, accessible, and caring housing future. We will examine our past, contend with our present, and envision our future.

We acknowledge that the SF Bay Area is a very limited window into what coliving can be; many cultures around the world have done this for millenia. We also acknowledge that Bay Area communal housing is often quite inaccessible to more marginalized groups (see an example of the Wheel of Privilege here or here). As such, we highly encourage you to spread the word to folks who may be more marginalized (so they can attend, speak, facilitate, etc). (Link to last year’s event)
