Bridge Wednesday: Workshop Series at Togethering Place
Organized by Diamante Bridge Collective
Theme: Sociocracy and Consent Decision Making
Facilitator: Randall
Location: The Togethering Space
Time: 11:11am – 1:11pm
Hello Beautiful Diamonds. For this Workshop we will take opportunity to review the main aspects of Sociocracy and will review and go through an exercise of Consent Decision Making.
On this Workshop we will review on Consent Decision Making process which represents closely the Sociocratic Principle of Equivalence, where we involve people in making and evolving decisions that affect them, so that we increase our engagement and accountability, and make use of the distributed intelligence towards achieving and evolving our objectives.
Sociocracy can be translated as “Power of the Companions”. It is a social technology for evolving agile and resilient organizations of any size and has proven to be effective for many organizations and communities around the world.
Sociocracy is a great way to promote Empowered Participation for our Collective. As we build interdependent systems, the fitness comes from contributing to the health of the whole. The quality of Empowered Participation means that all parts must be “in relationship” with the larger whole in ways that empower them to negotiate for their own needs and also enable them to add their unique contribution towards the health and well-being of the larger wholes in which they are embedded.
As there are various “flavors” of Sociocracy. I will rely on resources from Sociocracy 3.0 (https://sociocracy30.org/_res/practical-guide/S3-practical-guide.pdf) for this workshop.
