COHOUSING with Trish Becker and Dyan Wiley

Decluttering 55 Plus with Michelle Passoff explores decluttering not just physical items but also different aspects of life that may be holding people back. In this episode, Michelle discusses co-housing as an alternative living arrangement for seniors with guests Trish Becker and Diane Wiley. Core Principles of Co-Housing:*Shared Space: Private homes with communal areas like dining rooms, gardens, and recreational facilities.*Shared Stuff: Reduces personal clutter and resource waste.*Shared Time & Values: Encourages communal decision-making, mutual support, and sustainability.*Diversity in Co-Housing: Communities are typically diverse in beliefs, but they share values like sustainability and connectedness.*Senior Co-Housing: A specialized model offering a community-focused alternative to traditional retirement communities. Unlike for-profit senior housing, senior co-housing is self-managed and fosters independence.*Co-Housing vs. Retirement Communities: Co-housing emphasizes self-governance and active participation, while retirement communities are typically managed by external organizations.Follow Trish for more by visiting this link.Follow Dyan for more by visiting this link.Stay connected and inspired—follow me on social media!Website: https://decluttering55plus.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decluttering55plusInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/decluttering55plusLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/decluttering55plus\And also don’t forget to subscribe on my YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/@Decluttering55plusDiscover practical wisdom to simplify life—check out my book:Decluttering 55+: Wisdoms to Create a Legacy, Not a MessLink: https://www.amazon.com/Decluttering-55-Wisdoms-Michelle-Passoff/dp/B0DY88FQBS/
