Thanks for your interest and support of Containerly! We've made some changes recently so we wanted to let you know the news.

We've decided to split the cabin design business, Containerly, from the retreat center business.

The retreat is now called KASABA, which means town in Turkish.

This name feels so much more like what we are wanting to create as a space for people to gather - a village of entrepreneurs and changemakers who value wellness and peace.

KASABA is focused on inviting people to own a tiny home in our first location, a short drive from San Francisco.

Containerly will continue as the supplier of the zen-style 40ft container cabins, designed by Merinda Garrett and built by Alternative Living Spaces in Las Vegas. We're now opening up the village to additional cabin models by a select group of vendors.

Stay tuned for more updates!

KASABA is a network of co-retreat villages designed for spending time in nature with like-minded people. We welcome short-term visitors attending creative and wellness workshps, alongside longer term members who are co-working and living in their tiny home cabin.

Loneliness doesn't always stem from being alone. For architect Grace Kim, loneliness is a function of how socially connected we feel to the people around us -- and it's often the result of the homes we live in. She shares an age-old antidote to isolation: cohousing, a way of living where people choo...

We resonate with this comment made toward the end of this article about intentional communities...."Contemporary communities can benefit from the rise of freelancers and digital working, which reduces the agrarian burden and the pressure of self-sufficiency, allowing for more diverse revenue as communities contract with the outside world."

Most utopian communities are, like most start-ups, short-lived. What makes the difference between failure and success?
