Guide for Prospective Residents

Guide for Prospective Residents



We welcome new residents who are well-informed about Earthsong  and eager to become active participants in the community. But first, we want you to understand what cohousing is about and what life is like here so you can be sure Earthsong is a good match for you.


If you think you'd like to live here, start getting to know us now! We encourage you to develop a thorough understanding of what life would be like here before you make a decision.


Use the information below as a guide to help you explore whether you'd like to join us. Feel free to pursue the activities in whatever order works best for you. A printable version of the Guide for Prospective Residents is also available.



Please contact us at info@earthsong.org.nz to request a schedule of meetings, social events, and working bees you can participate in. Be sure to reach out in advance to arrange for a host for any activity you wish to attend.


We encourage you to explore Food for Thought, a series of questions to contemplate as you consider joining our community. In addition, we suggest you read our website thoroughly, view the photo gallery we have posted, and watch videos to get a glimpse of daily life here.
