(Cohousing community, this vision statement adopted several years after move-in)
Our Vision for a Wildly Successful FrogSong
We live in joyful community
Deep in connection and caring
Rich in beauty and celebration
By sharing with each other, our possibilities soar
Encouraged to participate and empowered to initiate,
We continuously create our community together
It’s the place we call home
Where we grow up,
Live on our own or partner,
Raise a family,
And thrive as elders
Where we savor life together
Share our joys and sorrows
In an atmosphere of kindness and goodwill
It’s a place that nurtures and supports our caring for the world
Where, by living in balance, we help sustain the earth
And by taking action, we strive to transform the world
