Cohousing-L Mailing List: Consensus Training w/ CT Butler

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Greetings all!

The Mid-Atlantic Chapter of TCN is offering a consensus
training workshop by CT Butler Sept. 9-10, 2000 (Sat/Sun.)  It will be held
here in the Washington DC area.  The cost is $100.00 per person plus some
minor expenses (share cost of renting hall.)  It's a brown bag lunch both
days.

CT is the author of "On Conflict and Consensus" a book often used by
cohousing groups.  The book describes his model of consensus which he calls
"Formal Consensus."
 If you use this book already, this is an opportunity to learn the
subtleties of the model and you might be surprised about a few of the steps!

If you have not read the book or used the model then this is a real
opportunity to learn this consensus process.  One of its most important
features, altho' by no means its only one, is a solution to the ever present
question of how to deal w/ blocks and blocking.

We invite you to attend this workshop BUT space is limited so please let us
know ASAP if you are interested.

Please email Dee Dishon:  ddishon [at] erols.com.

Join us!

THANKS!

yellow tape, it evokes, briefly, streamer and laundry-criscrossed courtyards
