Cohousing-L Mailing List: Consensus Training

[Ncaidin (Ncaidin]

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations of persons who could provide a one day 
training session on Consensus. Our community is considering having a one day 
retreat in October to help get everyone up to a "level" playing field on 
consensus. Our group has a wide range of experience and understanding of what 
a consensus process is, so we would need someone who could navigate through 
the challenges that a diverse group would pose.

I've already left messages with two individuals with whom I have had 
training, both of whom I like: Zemo Trevathan, who trained our original 
members on Straight Talk, Consensus and Facilitating; and C.T. Butler 
(co-author of "On Conflict and Consensus").


Logistics:
Date - probably mid-October
Place - somewhere in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina (Durham, 
Raleigh, Chapel Hill)
Group Size - 21 of 22 households on site (hurray!)
Consensus experience - quite varied but we do use consensus (formal and 
informal) to make our business decisions.

Cheers,
