🌿 Kia ora, cohousing enthusiasts! Are you looking to join a brand new cohousing neighbourhood in Wellington, Nelson or Christchurch?

🏡 How do you actually join a Circle Living cohousing neighbourhood?

If you’re interested in living a more connected life, and would like to join a cohousing neighbourhood in Nelson, Wellington or Christchurch, then this is for you!

Your Next Steps 👇

1️⃣ Attend an "Open Hour" Free Online Information Session:
www.circleliving.nz/upcoming-events
Learn how cohousing works, ask questions, and see if it feels aligned. If you can't wait until the next one, contact us to ask for our recent recording.

2️⃣ Register Your Interest:
https://forms.gle/biEPg8MRUvuj4MtPA
Let us know you’re curious, and which project interests you.

From there, you can decide whether you want to commit to the next phase: community building. This is where you start getting to know your future neighbours, and have a say in the site selection and design processes. This is where connection begins.

From there, we have a process for buying your home that you can read about on our website: www.circleliving.nz/buying-a-home

This is the work Takaka Cohousing grew into. If you’ve followed our journey - this is where it continues.

🟡 A quick Circle Living update 🟡

We’re excited to share that Circle Living cohousing projects are now forming in:
📍 Wellington
📍 Nelson
📍 Christchurch

We’re currently welcoming expressions of interest from people who feel drawn to intergenerational cohousing and a more connected, more resilient way of living.

If that sounds like you, you can let us know via our interest form here:
👉 https://forms.gle/pnGp27axURnvjjuF6

From February, we’ll begin monthly community-building calls with committed groups in each centre - an important next step in building strong foundations for each neighbourhood.

These meetings offer participants the opportunity to provide feedback during the site selection and design processes, gain knowledge around cohousing and communication, and shape the policies that will underpin how the neighbourhood functions. The meetings also bring people together to create and deepen connections, so that by the time you move in, you already know your neighbours.

👉 To unlock access to the community building phase for a project, please get in touch with us today.

✨ New to Circle Living?

Summer harvesting is one of the joys of cohousing.
Fresh herbs, seasonal greens, shared abundance; it all tastes better when grown together. 🌱

What would you love to grow in a community garden?

🌿 Welcome to 2026 🌿
As we step into a new year, we’re taking a moment to appreciate what already surrounds us - the people, the place, and the shared intention that shaped this neighbourhood.

If you’re feeling the call for more connection, more nature, and more ease this year, you’re not alone.

Here’s to a year of living simply, living kindly, and staying connected in community.

Why design with carparking outside the neighbourhood?
🚫 Less noise
🌬️ Cleaner air
👟 Safe spaces for kids
🌿 Beautiful pathways and gardens instead of driveways

It’s a small choice that makes a huge difference in daily wellbeing.
