new date TBD: The Dr. is IN! Finding Unity in Community: Consensus Q&A (Virtual)
·OnlineOnline48 attendees from 20 groups(this is just a placeholder to keep it on the calendar until the new date is set)
The Cohousing "Doctors" are coming in from the golf course to talk to YOU!Mid Atlantic Cohousing (MAC) will reprise its popular and well-attended The Doctor is IN! event.
Our panel of "Doctors" will happily answer your questions about decision-making in cohousing and other collaborative community living:
- What are the myths we share about consensus?
- What have we experienced good and bad in our group process?
- What simple steps make it possible to move forward?
- What is different about how you operate at different stages of community building, from forming, during development, to move-in?
- How do you get new members up to speed on community culture and process?
- How can you avoid folks promising "block" feeling like a veto?
- How does initial and ongoing training make a difference?
Your questions, observations, comments will be welcomed.
The Doctor Is IN! ... is NOT a tour of any community. Rather, it's a Q&A session designed to support the work of those who are Forming, Building or are Living in a cohousing community. Inquirers, seekers, the curious ... old hands, new hands ... all are welcome at this Zoom meeting. To wit, MAC invites YOU -- no matter where you live, or what stage in your dream you find yourself -- to meet the one and only Attending Doctors, deeply experienced in different phases of community:
- Martie, Liberty Village (long-established and growing)
- Daisy, Eastern Village Cohousing (long-established)
- Raines, Cohousing Coach, Cohousing Open network, living in Berkeley (California) Cohousing
All are Members of the Board of Directors for MAC.
Other "Doctors" may join us as their golf games end ...
With all those questions above and your questions at hand, the "Doctors" will address the all-important social side of community, and how we use Consensus decision-making to do more than any of us thought possible.
Please join us for this fun event! Sign up on this Meetup or via the Mid-Atlantic Cohousing website: https://www.MidAtlanticCohousing.org/ or Text CONSENSUS to +19252815643
