Cohorts How It Works Our Story Join Us
The Cohli Journal

Honest writing on family coliving, worldschooling, and life on the road.

Things we've learned from running cohorts, plus the questions parents keep asking us before they sign up. Curated by Lauren and Tiago, with help from the families we live alongside.

If you're part of a Cohli cohort and want to go deeper on a related subject, we'd love to consider a piece you've written or want to share. Reach out at welcome@cohli.com.
