Foundations of Sociocracy

Starting November 5th I've been taking a 6 week online course put on by the Sociocracy Consulting Group that explores the Sociocratic governance model. It consists of some readings and weekly meeting simulations in a fictional organization. I've been learning the principles, rules, and meeting procedures and comparing Sociocracy to Holacracy. Here is a link to my Personal Learning Journal from the class.

Conflict Mediation for Housing Co-ops

On October 19th I attended a three hour workshop on conflict mediation at North Haven Housing Cooperative put on by the Boulder Housing Coalition. We talked about different types of conflict in a living situation, systems and policies for conflict mediation, and how to be a conflict mediator. We broke up into groups and each group tackled a different issue in conflict mediation. My group put on a skit about aggressive vs. passive aggressive vs. assertive behavior. It was a lot of fun and I got to know people from many of the housing co-ops in Boulder.

Circling Lab at The Integral Center

I attended two circling labs where I learned about and participated in the process of Circling. Circling is similar to some other social technologies such as Forum, Re-evaluation Counseling, and Check-Ins that provide a safe space for people to share about themselves, process personal and interpersonal issues, and get to know one another. In this process one person is the focus of the circle and talk about their experience of being themselves in that moment, with the help of a trained facilitator. I really like this process and want to continue to practice it, both at The Integral Center and other communities I am a part of.
