In Episode 15, Kelli Soika visits with Charles Durrett, one of the founders of the cohousing movement in the United States. He has written a new book, Neuro-Inclusive Community Design: Lessons from Sólheimar Ecovillage. In this episode they talk about what successful community design looks like when it starts with the premise of neuro-inclusivity. Chuck shares insights about how individuals and families can bring projects like this together in the United States.

Chuck's book is on sale now and available from major booksellers or through The Cohousing Company. You can read reviews here.

In addition, here is the link to information about Sólheimar and a video that Chuck references in the interview.
