Community Building experience (Dragon dreaming; Sociocracy; Work that reconnects; Six thinking hats; Spirals of abundance, and much more) Thinking of creating an eco village, an intentional community, or looking to create a community project, and want to understand and experience: – How to begin – How to find the right people – How to keep people together in harmony – How to have fun in the process! Amazing projects failing to go the distance is a well recognised pattern, and as you maybe well have already experienced, it is usually due to lack of cohesion between people and a clear shared vision But there are also well recognized patterns, and plenty of community tools which do allow projects to last… and we are excited to share these with you all. DATES – 13th- 20th of May 2016: 7 day community building experience (arriving the evening of the 13th) For people who can only attend at the weekend the first and last 2 days will be distinct courses: – 14th and 15th 2016: 2 day introduction to Sociocracy (collaborative decision making) – 21st-22nd: 2 day course on Water Management (Theory and Practical: Collection, Storage and Distribution) WHAT TO EXPECT During this 7 day experience we will look at what causes projects to fail, so we can learn to spot potential pitfalls, we will then not only learn, but actively put into practice the patterns and tools that allow projects and communities to succeed. For 7 days we will form a community, that works out how to nurture and support each other and live together in complete harmony. We will make collaborative decisions on how we achieve this. Hence the first 2 days of this experience will learn about and use an invaluable community decision making tool called Sociocracy (also known as Dynamic governance). Sociocracy has 95 years of experience in allowing individuals needs to be heard within a group, and used to form a cohesive project with actions that every person consents to (see
