Raven’s Nest Commons

When women support each other incredible things happen

Imagine a village brought to life by the women who live there — private homes and welcoming shared spaces that nurture friendship, purpose, and belonging.

Our belief

We are not alone. We have each other.

We are not alone. We have each other.

We are not alone. We have each other.

Let’s build a cohousing community together and live our best lives.

  • Three women preparing a salad together in a sunny kitchen
  • Three women planting a seedling in a garden bed
  • A group of women hiking along a forest trail with walking poles
  • A group of women knitting and crocheting together in a bright plant-filled room

The vision

A community designed for women 50+

The Grateful We’re Not Dead Project is creating Raven’s Nest Commons — a cohousing community designed to empower women aged 50 and older to age in place with dignity, safety, and connection.

It’s a modern model that blends privacy and autonomy with mutual support, financial control, and personal enrichment.

What makes it work

Independence, without isolation

Independence + Connection

Private homes give you autonomy, while welcoming shared spaces nurture friendship, purpose, and belonging.

Shared Spaces

A common house for weekly meals and events, plus gardens, walking paths, a fire pit, and room to gather.
