The notacoliving experiment - a 1 month community the making, w/ Kathrin David & Jocelyn Ames
Kathrin and Jocelyn had a very mutually supportive conversation talking about the 1-month community experiment she's about to launch in southern Spain.
Jocelyn was eager to chat with her as it sounded somewhat similar to what she's doing in the Yincubator (and is just 2hrs down the road!). It was clearly helpful and inspiring to hear about each other's approach, concepts and intentions.

Experiments in Co-Living (Part 2) with Abi & Jocelyn
Jocelyn and Abi are back again for more reflections on their experiences with co-living!
In this episode the focus is on clarifying the purpose of your co-living group, and how to go about finding or building a group that is in alignment with that vision.
They give some great examples of different co-living experiments they've visited and been part of, and end with a reflection on what happens when expectations are not met, or clash with each other.
Tune in for Part 3 which will be all about navigating conflict and how to 'end well' when someone wants to leave the group.
