Deciding how we want to live

Learn from Cohousing, Coliving and Intentional Communities around the world at the Sociocracy in Intentional Communities Conference
The conference will explore how sociocracy supports ecovillages, cohousing projects and housing cooperatives to meet social needs through resilient, equitable and regenerative self-governance practices.
Most of us have not grown in a collaborative culture where each is called to share their perspective to create a shared view of the life we want.
When we join a community, we soon notice that some patterns keep us from deciding together smoothly: one wants to be right, the other is conflict-avoidant…
Participative decision-making is a change of paradigm that requires lots of learning and unlearning, and is a precious skill to allow our group to co-create the life we really want to live together.
Conference program coming soon!
