Sociocracy for Intentional Communities and Member-Led Groups
Sociocracy is an especially effective and enjoyable self-governance and decision-making method that instructor Diana Leafe Christian now highly recommends for cohousing communities, ecovillages, and other kinds of intentional communities as well as other member-led groups.
If a group uses what Diana calls all seven parts of sociocracy, they can experience:
(1) Better meetings
(2) Getting more done
(3) Being better organized
(4) Feeling more harmonious and better connected to other community members
"Learning sociocracy in Dianas webinar and using it in our urban ecovillage has easily been the most powerful catalyst to help our community thrive." - Jordan Lindsay, Teal House, Calgary. Sociocracy Course, Jan-March, 2020
The course is 35 to 45 hours of visual learning and practice with six different learning activities.
(1) Watch-ahead videos of Diana drawing graphics while she presents material.
(2) Graphic-rich, read-ahead handouts to further illuminate each weeks topic, and a short quiz about that weeks topic participants can use as a self-quiz or send to check their answers.
(3) Optional: If desired, participants can talk about what they just learned with another webinar participant on Zoom. The person they talk with will be randomly chosen and they will meet a different person each week.
(4) A two-hour lively practice session each week, practicing with the whole group and also in small breakout groups with other webinar participants.
(5) Responses to any questions or comments emailed to Diana about sociocracy during the course and for a year afterwards.
(6) Access to all course videos and handouts for a year after the course. During that year Diana will respond to questions to provide any additional help needed.
