If you are not getting to the Cohousing Conference this June 15-16 you
could go to the Jamaica Plain Cohousing Community for a two-day Dynamic
Governance/Sociocracy workshop. To be presented by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, 18
year resident of Pioneer Valley Cohousing in Massachusetts,  and a member
of The Sociocracy Consulting Group.

A number of cohousing communities in formation (sucha s green haven in
Commecticut and Cohabitat Quebec in eastern Canada) have adopted sociocracy
and some already existing communities like Pioneer Valley Cohousing are
considering the shift from consensus to sociocracy for their decision
making process and organizational structure. Diana Leafe Christian who
wrote  *Creating A Life Together *and Ann Zabaldo, Takoma Village cohousing
resident and organizer
of the Mid-Atlantic Cohousing network both previously advocated consensus
now are encouraging communities to organize on the basis of Dynamic
Governance.

Sociocracy/dynamic self-governance

A New Way to Organize How We Live and Work

Sociocracy: governance by the “socios” – those who work together. Dynamic
Self-Governance is an effective participatory decision making process based
on equivalence of power of all participants regardless of their position in
an organization’s managerial hierarchy. Sociocracy redesigns traditional
organizational decision making, transforms ownership structure, and offers
a vision of society based on power-with!
