Collaborate to Thrive: Keeping Homefullness Alive
Sustaining Homefullness: Building a Collective Future for Affordable, Regenerative Housing This special Homefullness Show episode because it is a call for collaboration to keep this show alive and the Homefullness programmes to thrive. It's also about clarity on the transition of Homefullness as a separate entity to Common Ground. Zola explains why Homefullness and Common Ground focus on “homefullness” rather than homelessness: Supporting affordable, collective, regenerative housing in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. She shares her background in community development, Habitat for Humanity, community land trusts, ecovillages, natural building, and her own experience struggling to secure quality housing as a migrant and later single mother amid intense rental competition. She outlines the three current Homefullness projects—Women Revolutionising Housing (hui and peer network), the Homefullness Show (28 episodes on models like land trusts, cohousing, cooperatives, and policy/finance), and a proposed community-focused housing property development course. To date, this work has been done under Common Ground and has been self-funded since 2019. Zola says she no longer wants to or is able to sustain this purpose-driven work on her own. She invites supporters to join governance, sponsor/fund, contribute via Patreon, an upcoming PledgeMe campaign, by sharing stories. There is a a survey for people to indicate their interest to contribute (see link below). Zola estimates about $18,000 is needed to continue these programmes through June 2027; otherwise, she will pause the mission. Zola will shift Common Ground to be re-branded as a business offering training-consulting-facilitation to improve collaboration, communication and conflict transformation for businesses, organisations, groups, and families.

Neighbourliness for Resilience with Robin Allison of Earthsong EcoNeighbourhood
Robin Allison is the founder of Earthsong EcoNeighbourhood in West Auckland, a 32-home, medium-density cohousing community on 1.2 hectares. It is guided by permaculture ethics, eco-building, and social sustainability, with an educational commitment to share learning. Zola and Robin discuss “homefullness” as individual autonomy plus shared belonging, intergenerational support, accountability, and personal and collective growth opportunities by working actively with diversity and conflict. Robin describes Earthsong’s resilience work with the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), concluding urban and community resilience depends on cultivating and fostering wider caring and connected neighbourhood relationships. A team at Earthsong is launching a film and workshop, “Neighbourliness for Resilience,” which is offered to groups wishing to generate discussion and solutions for their own local resilience. Be in touch with Robin to request a screening and workshop for your community or area. Earthsong offers tours to groups (by demand) and the public (quarterly). Robin offers seminars on cohousing governance and design, her latest offerings being in Japan. Her book Cohousing for Life is available to get learnings from her experience of developing Earthsong and tips for aspiring intentional community developers (and groups). Zola at Common Ground is offering a number of services to support councils, housing organisations and professionals, and leaders and groups aspiring to create an innovative housing projects. Beyond housing, Zola offers services to those wishing to add more connection and harmony to their workgroups--finding and deepening the common ground amongst all members to work and live better together. Services include: Connection Labs (playful, interactive workshops) which include communication that increases connection and understand, teambuilding that increases cooperation and effective work flows, somatic activities to increase body wisdom, and Playback Theatre as a playful way to increase empathy and social cohesion.

Designing Connection with Neighbours
April Theme: Belonging and the Neighbour Connection Challenge In this episode, Zola introduces April’s theme of belonging through designing connection with neighbours, linking it to Common Ground’s focus on collective living and affordability via sharing and reciprocity, and permaculture’s people care ethic. She’s excited to share that she’s making changes to the Homefullness Show to be more practical and announces a Patreon-based Homefullness community with monthly resources. This includes a “Neighbour Connection Challenge” which offers simple actions and a 7-day structure to build neighbourly ties, with even more resources available for Patreon members through the platform. Zola shares her personal experiences of community inclusion and isolation across different places she's lived, highlights intentional community benefits at Riverside Community (New Zealand), and discusses lessons from Serenbe and Steve Nygren’s book Start In Your Own Backyard about designing walkable, nature-integrated, clustered neighbourhoods. Check out www.commonground.net.nz for additional services for housing leaders and enthusiasts, housing-related events, and sign up for the newsletter and subscribe to the show to be alerted to upcoming content on compassionate communication for resolving neighbour tensions.
