Our guide to coliving is divided into “The Hard Stuff” and “The Soft Stuff.” The Hard Stuff will appeal to the left side of your brain: Legal and financial structures, finding property etc. The Soft Stuff will tickle the right side of your brain: Managing conflict, decision-making, etc.

We solemnly vow to leave no side of your brain untickled.

We’re also including a series of case studies to help you understand how individual communities run.
