Co-living/Commune-living Defined

What
Co·liv·ing
noun

  1. Shared housing designed to support a purpose-driven life.
  2. A modern, urban lifestyle that values openness, sharing, and collaboration.
  3. Synonyms: intentional living, intentional community, co-housing, modern nomad.
Why
The purpose of co-living is to create a home environment that inspires and empowers its residents to be active creators and participants in the world around them. These environments cultivate collaboration and serendipity amongst residents and the extended community. Co-living houses enable resilient lifestyles through sharing and efficient use of resources and space.

Who
Co-living is for people who want a home environment that actively supports them in living with service, purpose and intention. People who choose co-living include professionals, makers, entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives.

How
Residents unite around a common interest to collaboratively manage a space, share resources, and coordinate activities which contribute creatively and intellectually to the world around them. Many co-living houses offer short-term accommodation and host outward facing events, increasing connections with the broader community and world. The community at Living Room Yoga Commune is focused on the principles of permaculture, yoga, and resilient living. (See "Our Values" post our other values.)
