- Filmmaker Alan O'Hashi's latest trek took him to South Africa where he was investigating a third documentary in the Aging Gratefully series. This 30-minute pilot mostly catches his initial impressions from Tolstoy to Gandhi to Mandela to the present day. There's an intentional community being formed in the Town of Memel and the Township of Zamani in the South African Free State Province by a friend and colleague, Steven Ablondi, and his wife Cindy Burns. Alan tagged along with the Memel Global Community architect and his across-the-street neighbor Bryan Bowen and a couple of his crew, Jamison and Molly. Bryan lives in the Wild Sage Cohousing community in Boulder. Alan embedded himself with a local buy named Shakes in the Black African community and even though it was only for a couple of days, he gained quite a bit of insight into the cultural dynamics, which are not unlike those he had encountered among my Northern Arapaho tribal member friends. As this story develops, how Native American tribes could incorporate cohousing concepts into their growing housing demand will also be investigated. There are generations-long traditional tribal cultures that have a norm about multi-generational care for elders. Does it makes any sense to form intentional communities around these customs?
