Governance in Ecovillages

[Elliott Saxby]

Dear all, please see the attached flyers (the discount also applies to GEN members, no matter your age). 

Questions:

Can we really change our impact on this planet within the current economic model ?

To change the current economic model is a different form of Governance needed that can create grass roots action while at the same time creating an alternative model of globalisation ? 

If all organisations and communities where governed by purpose instead of profit would our lives have more joy in them ?

Is one of the greatest strengths of the Ecovillage movement, modelling the new ?

Would this discounted course support you, your community and the whole ?

All the best, 

Elliott x

Governance resources

Dynamic Self-Governance, Sociocracy and Holacracy Dynamic Self-Governance (DSG) is a more accessible term for Sociocracy. Sociocracy literally means rule by the “socios”, people who have a social relationship with each other.  Recently another model based on DSG has emerged: “Holacracy”. Holacracy is based on the same principles as Sociocracy and DSG. Where Dynamic Self-Governance asks for one perspective shift, Holacracy asks another: a Spiritual perspective shift. NextGEN utilizes the benefits of all these models and more while making them simple and accessible. For further details please see Governance Alive  Sociocracy  Holacracy (recommend listening to the audio’s on this site or from “What Is Enlightenment “WE THE PEOPLE Consenting to a Deeper Democracy” by John Buck and Sharon Villines ISBN 978-0-9792827-0-6 (John Buck has been supporting NextGEN in its local and global DSG work)

Yahoo Sociocracy group:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sociocracy/

It has active discussions on Sociocracy, some of them are interesting and some are not, I half read about half of the messages.

Holacracy offer free intro sessions and very expensive trainings

Governance Alive offer limited free sessions and very cheap trainings. All GEN and NextGEN members receive a discount from their trainings (I can personally recommend them).
