You are invited!
Sociocracy For All's * 5th Annual Intentional Communities Conference* is
this *Saturday*, *November 22*. Many of us dance with decision-making,
structure, and feedback in the isolation of our own communities. Here is a
chance to meet with a wonderful network of cohousers who, as the conference
theme says, are *Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole*.

We start at 10:30 am Eastern time with a plenary, offer 20
fifty-minute-long sessions in 4 concurrent tracks, and close with a plenary
ending at 4:30 pm Eastern.  Come for the whole time or just a few
sessions. Take
a look at the schedule below! You choose how much to pay (sliding scale $20
to $240).
