Charles, Regarding your Aug. 6th submission below on 'Consensus decision-making':I don't know if this addresses exactly your Q, but it serves me to share this. In the 12 years our EcoVillage at Ithaca (NY) has been in existence, I have made a solid connection with one couple. Of course, I have a number of other connections, but really only this one with whom we share at a depth level. And it's enough.Monty cc: Wayne & Phebe> Today's Topics:> > 1.
