Session 2

Sociocracy from the Start in Cohousing

Wendy Pearle

Creating a cohousing community? What about a dynamic and effective system of 
decision making which is also a form of self governance that allows everyone’s 
voice to be heard and creates solutions that are within everyone’s preference 
or at least range of tolerance. Sociocracy in action from a forming community.

Conflict Resolution – everyone needs to be accountable

Alan O’Hashi

We will learn how to hold moving targets accountable for their roles in a 
conflict. The target becomes a bystander, the instigator becomes the victim, 
the ally becomes a bully. Run of the mill disagreements in a community is not 
like the criminal justice system where there is a bad guy who must pay for 
their actions.

Roundtable: Concrete strategies for deconstruction of white supremacy in your 
forming community

Moderated by Studio Co+Hab

At this point, many people want to be taking concrete steps to dismantle 
systemic racism and white supremacy in cohousing, but many, especially white 
allies, struggle to know where and how to start. This session convenes a panel 
to suggest specific steps that forming groups can take.

Facilitated Discussion with Joe Cole
