Sociocracy Demystified
Creating a Dynamic Governance System for Your Intentional Community
5-Week Online Course | Starts January 8th!

Discover a way to make fast, clear, and inclusive group decisions. Sociocracy 
has quickly become one of the most popular forms of governance among 
intentional communities. Any new or established community can benefit from 
learning the basics of sociocracy, also called Dynamic Governance.

Don’t let your community flounder in the face of important decisions or endure 
the agony of messy meetings. Bring sociocracy to your group. Take this course 
to ensure you are implementing it correctly, with adaptations for your 
community’s specific needs. 
 
Have you struggled through long and unproductive meetings with your intentional 
community? Heard about sociocracy but unsure how to implement it well? Trying 
to design something that will work for your unique situation?

During this comprehensive course, your instructors Ted Rau and Jerry 
Koch-Gonzalez will teach you how to use sociocracy to move your community 
forward. They’ll cover how to optimize group listening, divide decision-making 
authority into meaningful chunks, and empower people to act with clarity. 
Through sociocracy you can design feedback systems so everyone in your 
community knows what is going on and can be heard on matters that affect them. 
Far from the intentional community horror stories you may have heard, a 
sociocratic meeting is manageable and calm. There are opportunities for every 
person in the room to express their thoughts and be heard.
