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
Let’s build a cohousing community together and live our best lives.
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.
Rooted in Durango
Born in Durango, Colorado — surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the services that matter close at hand.
