Conscious Coliving: A Way of Living to Thrive
Living together in conscious communities is a concrete practical action to enable personal, collective and societal flourishing.
What is Conscious Coliving?
Conscious Coliving is a radical yet practical alternative to the way we currently live. Combining a conscious commitment to inner growth and community.
There’s not really an established term yet for the kind of way of living that we imagine and seek to pioneer but we've come to call it "conscious coliving" reflecting the fusion of two related practices: conscious living and coliving.
It is the practice of living in community, in any format, and dedicating oneself to conscious living and embodiment. The spectrum of conscious coliving environments is broad and can be anything from three friends living in a house together, to an entire village.

Why is Conscious Coliving Important?
At the core of Life Itself's Theory of Change, is that for us to step into the new paradigm we must create seeds for the Second Renaissance. These seeds are cultivated from physical spaces where people can connect deeply and innovate social, spiritual and practical elements for the next paradigm.
Conscious coliving is therefore fundamental to seeding the Second Renaissance. By living together we are actively and consciously working on our personal, interpersonal and collective development.
