The single family home is so culturally accepted that we don’t see it as artificial, but up until recently, most people lived in villages. What did we lose when we left the village? And how can we get it back? This episode includes three Commusings in one — Ten Peas in a Pandemic Pod, It Takes a Village to Raise a Parent, and How to Grow an Agrivillage.

Go to RootedNW.org to learn more about the cohousing village mentioned in these essays.

Commusings are thoughtful essays and short-form reflections on spirituality, philosophy, health, and culture. For more musings and quotes, connect with us on Instagram at @onecommune or @jeffkrasno or sign up for the Commusings newsletter at onecommune.com
