Karen Gimnig - exclusive MN Zoom-based event

Top ten reasons to live in cohousing

Karen Gimnig wouldn't be living in cohousing herself if she didn't think it's pretty great. But how is it great, and why would many other people benefit from it?

Gimnig is a professional facilitator who supports groups, whether they're forming or already living in cohousing. With the bonus of her lived experience as a cohousing resident, this makes her presentation one you will not want to miss!

Wed., Oct. 11, 2023
7 - 8:30 pm, which includes time for Q&A
Free. Held via Zoom.
