[Neil Planchon (neil]

Greetings all! 

The Intentional Community circle at Sociocracy For All (SoFA) invites you to 
one of their important 2024 events!

Title: A ProSocial Perspective on Sociocracy: How Community Culture Shapes 
Cooperation and Trust
Day and Time: March 27  at 10AM Pacific/1pm Eastern
Duration: 2 hour live webinar
Price: $15.00

About this webinar: What does culture have to do with getting the work done? In 
a voluntary work force, cultural patterns can foster cooperation, trust and 
motivation or limit their expression. How can community culture be readily 
understood? Derived from direct observation of successful indigenous peoples’ 
practices in stewarding shared commons and and demonstrated effectiveness 
reflected in evolutionary and contextual behavioral science, the 8 ProSocial 
Core Design Principles are universal engagement patterns that point to cultural 
leverage points for strengthening whole group wellbeing by unpacking the 
difference between “power-with” verses “power-over” dynamics. This brief 
overview can help you understand how to strengthen whole group wellbeing by 
considering sociocratic procedures and processes through the lens of the 
ProSocial Worldview.

Kathleen Walsh (presenter) has explored individual, group and planetary 
wellness throughout her life as a mental health professional, legislative 
activist, community member and systems thinker. She credits freedom to roam the 
woods surrounding her home in early childhood as her introduction to the 
wonders of nature’s inherent intelligent design and considers both sociocracy 
and the ProSocial Worldview to be perspectives on how nature’s design can 
inform our thriving future.
