Tell me more about cohousing Lynn Morstead & Kelli Soika

In Episode 29 Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika interview Tom King, the originator of the Houston cohousing group. Tom's path to cohousing has a dimension that we haven’t explored much, the spiritual aspect of the path to cohousing. He's part of a cross-cultural mediation community that brought him in contact with the idea of cohousing and that living in community is a spiritual gift. 

Listen in to learn more about his journey.

In Episode 29 Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika replay the 2022 story of the mystery old safe that was left behind in the tear-down building on the property. Before the bulldozers knocked it down a spirit of curiosity blew through the community that lead to collective initiative to get it cracked and opened. Join the fun ride through their efforts to raise the money to open it and all the plans they had for spending the treasure that surely must be locked inside.

In Episode 27 Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika interview Susan Lieberman, a woman who builds community wherever she goes.... and she's been lots of places! She has "lived in nine cities, written eight books, directed four educational programs, earned three graduate degrees, raised two sons and thinks, one day, she may, perhaps, acquire a partridge in a pear tree".  So she knows something about creating connections. 
The unifying theme in all her work has been a desire to help people find satisfying resolutions to the situations that arise from leading busy, complicated lives and to grow into their best selves.
