Why we organized a Cohabs retreat
Since Cohabs was born, we have had that strong conviction that building a community is the most important part of the coliving experience. It’s in our DNA. It was 5 years ago, and since then, our community has evolved and grown tremendously. We couldn’t be happier, but we want to keep that Cohabs family spirit more than anything. That’s why last year, as the world was stopping, we thought it was time for us to take a good look at ourselves. "Cohabs is seen as a big real estate developer. The thing is: we do way more than that! Basically, we do everything from the acquisition to the renovation and design, and most importantly we take care of our members after the opening.” explains Xavier, our creative director.
That’s a hard, frustrating fact for us: people just see the tip of the Cohabs iceberg. But how do we make people change their minds about us? It’s not something you can throw into the universe then expect people to go along with it overnight. In Xavier’s words: “It’s how we make you feel every day that will make you stay with us everywhere. You’ll remember Cohabs through the stories, the memories, and the relationships you’ve made here. What makes Cohabs today is not the houses, but the people living together and sharing part of their journey within the community.” That’s why we organize a lot of events and activities throughout the year, but we wanted to do something extra...
And that’s why the idea of an annual retreat came to life.
