The Gathering

Three days of connections

We spend our time connecting people through our spaces and facilitated events. But our roles as coliving founders can sometimes feel quite lonely.
It is something we have encounter time and time again, personally or after talking coliving owners and managers, seasoned and new comers.

There is a need for an event that is designed for us, those who hold space for others. An event where we can make connections, develop synergies and simply know that we are not alone in this.

We are excited to announce that this is exactly what we have planned: the first coliving gathering of coliving professionals filled with workshops, masterminds, trips and those "over dinner" conversations that can make all the difference.

Where we stay

There is no better way to connect, than to colive ourselves (practice what we preach). The event will be hosted by our long-term friends from Gran Canaria - Repeople.

The El Cabo Coliving is located in the coastal town of Agaete, meters away from the sea, restaurants and beautiful hikes. We have only got 30 rooms (all with ensuite bathroom) and due to high demand - we will work on first come first serve basis.

A one-of-kind meetup of

Coliving operators

What to expect

One giant (but cozy) gathering of all the people you have heard of but never met or had the opportunity to sit with for a chat.

The program is all about bringing people together and opening doors for collaboration.

Let's make this the first (of many) gatherings of coliving founders where we truly get to know the faces behind the coliving spaces, what keeps them up at night and how they see the future of Coliving.

Connections

Build deeper connections with other coliving founders and forge collaborations.

Workshops

We will host a Coliving Mastermind where we dive into the challenges we face.

Accommodation

3 nights accommodation with shared or private bathrooms in the Agaete.

Excursion

Exploring the region together through hikes, food tasting and lots of culture.

Build a meaningful network of operators

Get the details

The first day is always about getting to know each other so we will be hosting ice-breaker games, a trip to explore the island and of course, food, lots of it.

Our second day will begin with understanding each coliving operators' challenges and we will end with our very own Coliving Mastermind.

The final day will be all about building synergies, ways we can collaborate and be a strong community driven industry.

Our prices start at €450 but all members receive an additional 10% discount.

"Where does the money go?" is always a fair question, and we are happy to be totally transparent here. Coliving Hub is a non-profit organization, hence it will not make any profit on this event. The pricing is based on cost of accommodation and excursions and to fly-in the Coliving Hub team. All team members of Coliving Hub will volunteer their time during the event.

The retreat will be hosted by Coliving Hub team.

Our founder is Haz Memon. He has pioneered coliving since it's inception. He runs coliving spaces in Switzerland and Greece under the brand ESCAPE.

FAQ

How will I get to Selgars?

Address: Selgars Mill, Uffculme, Devon EX15 3DA Flying into the UK? The closest airport is Bristol. It will take you about 2h by bus/train to get to Tiverton Parkway station which is our station (See By Train). It might be easier to find a flight to London airport. In that case, you can go to Paddington Station in London and get a direct train to Tiverton Parkway (2h). by car: This is where we are : Selgars Mill, Uffculme, Devon EX15 3DA We have parking available on site. by train: The station is called Tiverton Parkway From London it is a 2h train right from Paddington station, stopping at Tiverton Parkway. We recommend using https://www.thetrainline.com/ to book your ticket. FROM THE STATION From the station, it is a 45-minute walk, a 15-minute cycle, or a 7-minute drive. Depending on arrival times we might be able to organise transfer. IF YOU ARE WALKING OR CYCLING, DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE MAP! Google Maps is misleading and will tell you it takes more than 1h. Follow these instructions instead: As soon as you get off the train, instead of taking the over-track bridge to reach the station, walk down the walking path following the tracks. It will eventually take you to a bridge crossing the highway. Keep going “along” the highway on the other side. When the walking path ends, you reach a junction. Take a sharp left and follow that road (Muxbeare Lane) to a big road (B3181). Turn left on the walking path alongside it until you reach the end of it, and it makes you cross the big road. Cross and take the road on your right that is going left, Hitchocks Lane. Follow that road until the end, cross one last road (Uffculme Road), and we are straight ahead! You should see our signs.
