“What a treat to join others on the journey of discovery and implementation of 
sociocracy, with the writers of the books as our guides! I think the sections 
on aim, structure, consent, how to object, feedback, facilitation, and meetings 
were all immensely valuable, with real-world applications and circle diagrams 
from actual communities sprinkled throughout.” -Andreas B.

“The online [Sociocracy for Communities] course included multiple interactive, 
small group discussion segments in each session. This gave us all an 
opportunity to practice the process and techniques being covered in class, and 
made the learning experience more hands-on and meaningful. It was valuable to 
hear about other communities at all stages of development from newly forming to 
those transitioning to a second generation 20-30 years later. All communities 
deal with sensitive, complex issues. Sociocracy provides a governance structure 
that engages everyone in decision-making in a respectful, clear and 
participatory process , that integrates objections, without demanding full 
consensus.” -Anne H.

Cordially,
Neil Planchon
