Cohousing-L Mailing List: Sociocracy workshop Jan 28-29: John Buck, Diana Leafe Christian & Jerry Koch-Gonzalez

[Christina Smillie (smilliec]

Following up on my introduction, Green Haven 
<http://www.greenhavencohousing.org/> is now sponsoring a big weekend 
workshop in just a few weeks, Jan 28-29, with John Buck 
<http://sociocracyconsulting.com/team/john-buck-bio/>, Jerry Koch-Garcia 
<http://sociocracyconsulting.com/team/jerry-koch-gonzalez/>, who's a 
member of Pioneer Valley Cohousing in MA, and his been helping some NVC 
chapters transition to Sociocracy, and Diana Leafe Christian 
<http://www.dianaleafechristian.org/>, who now sees Sociocracy as the 
solution to a lot of the governance issues that have plagued cohousing 
and other intentional communities for a long time.

Diana calls sociocracy "a self-governance & decision-making method to 
raise morale and help your community thrive" I am really excited to have 
all three of them coming to New Haven!

The workshop is limited to 40 people, and besides ourselves, we now also 
have about a dozen folks signed up from other New England cohousing 
communities. We still have about ten slots left. Contact me if you're 
interested, or check out our website

might be interested!
