| Memphis Mothering CoHousing is a community that is in the formative stage. Currently in Memphis, Tennessee, there is a need for a community that meets the needs of single parents and children. Parents who are raising their children alone can benefit from a cohousing environment based on the philosophy that members of Mothering.com share (gentle parenting practices, natural childbirth, etc.).
My dream is to share either a large house or a small neighborhood. I dream about gardening, homeschooling, working, and parenting together as a community.
Who is welcomed? Single, divorced, never married, married, lesbian, gay, straight, all with a focus on raising your children in community. Families without children are also welcome.
If you share this dream, please feel free to contact me. Please visit Mothering.com to see a plethora of values shared by the members. | Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses) |
