Study Group 1 : Aging Successfully


  • The Cohousing Company (Zoom) United States (map)

BECOME A KEY FACILITATOR IN INSPIRING AND EMPOWERING SENIORS TO:

  • Age in place successfully.

  • Understand the economics, the sociology, the psychology, the physiology, the spirituality of senior living choices, and more of aging successfully.

  • We will explore co-care, co-healing, group process, getting conscious of the issues, getting out of denial, getting proactive.

  • Strengthen the bond between body and soul, individual and community.

  • Appreciate the interlocking roles of community life and quality of life.

  • Work effectively to achieve common goals.

  • Create a meaningful living legacy that transcends the generations.

If you are interested in facilitating a change in attitude and seeing proactive results in your community, this is your chance. In our years of experience, we have found that the more trained SG1 facilitators there are in one area, the more momentum and support each has to create senior cohousing for themselves and others. In the vein of creating community/cohousing, the training is about creating a web of resources for everyone to take advantage of.

I was very fortunate to participate in Study Group 1…and feel well equipped to train others in my area. [The] program impacted me personally by helping me qualify what will work for me in my retirement and to be proactive in pursuing great options for healthy and productive senior years. I now live in Oak Creek Senior Cohousing in Still Water Oklahoma.
