Cohousing-L Mailing List: Gather Around the (virtual) Fire: Exploring Self-Managing NGOs

Hello everyone!

I’m really excited about this gathering and haven’t seen it happen in a while. 
If this is something you enjoy, I hope you’ll join us. 

Join Sociocracy for All’s NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) Circle for an 
engaging and virtual fireside chat on January 20th, 2026, to explore what it 
feels like to be part of a self-managing nonprofit today. Connect with peers, 
share experiences, and discuss hopes for equitable, consent-based 
decision-making in your organization. This by-donation event is open to all 
nonprofit staff, board members, and volunteers—bring a colleague and join the 
conversation!
