I've attended short sessions with CT and found him quite knowledgeable and articulate. I believe Shannon Farm in VA (http://www.ic.org/shannonfarm/) brings him in annually to review/retrain the community in the Formal Census method they use. > Has anybody hired anybody else to conduct a consensus workshop, and what > was your experience, and how much did it cost? A few of us took and had a good experience with GREAT LAKES CONSENSUS for a weekend workshop. $150/seat. Well worth it. (http://www.ic.org/market/market2.html#serv) Also the Fellowship for Intentional Community (www.ic.org/fic/) is connected with a number of excellent Consensus trainers. Ask for a local referral. > Any comments on the general usefulness of consensus workshops?

I think everyone, facilitators and participants, in a group serious about using consensus ought to have some formal training by Pros and certainly make a study of the many good books available.
