Cohousing-L Mailing List: Would you welcome more cooperation in your community?

[Kathleen Walsh (kathleen]

Dear cohousing friends,

I am pleased to share information about a Learning Journey I am offering in 
collaboration with Pip Atkins and Keala Young.  We have designed it 
specifically for members of cohousing and ecovillage communities.

Here's our pitch:

Are you a member of an established ecovillage or co-housing project?

Would you like to improve group collaboration, effectiveness and harmony?

Prosocial World invites members of intentional communities to collaborate with 
trained Prosocial facilitators in a 6-week Learning Journey specifically 
designed to assist members to reflect upon their current organizational 
objectives and identify “next steps” towards improving practices and achieving 
what matters most to them.

Based on organizational design principles that are contemporary expressions of 
traditional knowledge practices that support personal and collective needs 
within a broad range of organizations, they are especially well-suited to the 
needs of residential community groups that use consensus-based or sociocratic 
decision-making and self-governance structures intended to foster “power with” 
cultural evolution.

Weekly two-hour online sessions will include an introduction to the Prosocial 
Worldview and Toolkit and the content will be organized around integrating the 
approach with the specific challenges identified by participating communities.  
Fee discounts will be provided for participation by more than one member of a 
community. Scholarships also considered.
