This course is designed for a team of up to 4 people to take together. You will be introduced to all the ways we have found to pleasurably and successfully live communally. We will describe our Morehouse model, including our decision-making system of one no-vote and purchasing and owning property together. Drawing on our more than 50 years of group living, we will answer your questions about the various ways, successful and not-so-successful, that we have approached handling day to day life situations: from who is going to take out the garbage to pleasurably accomplishing communal goals to how best to gratify all the participants. The course includes 12 sessions, each devoted to a particular aspect of life in a group setting. Six months of meetings with faculty advisors are included for students who complete the course and wish to be housemothers of a Morehouse or other group living situation. Sessions scheduled as course progresses - usually weekly and approx. 3 hours + out-of-class assignments. Tuition is based on a group of 3 or 4 people, including at least two women and one man, who are interested in learning to run a Morehouse as a team.
