Telling Stories
Creative Ways to Age in Place
Exploring pioneering housing projects and regenerative communities that foster possibilities for a vibrant, connected, and resilient second half of life. Nesting Well is an innovative project designed to gather the compelling stories and lived experiences of pioneering people who are forging creative ways to age in place, along with a more harmonious way of living on earth.
After exploring ecovillages, home sharing, intentional communities and transition towns, we turned the camera to catch four vital stories. We hope that they will inspire and create a ripple effect for all those who are searching for an alternative to institutional models of care.
If you have a story, a bright idea, or innovative solution that might contribute to this evolving project, we’d love to hear from you: info@centreforearthandspirit.ca.
