Best of Communities Volume V
Consensus
A special selection of articles from Communities: Life in Cooperative Culture
$15 in print; $10 digital
The Foundation for Intentional Community is pleased to offer you the cream of our crop―the very best articles that have appeared over the last 20 years in our flagship publications: Communities magazine and the Communities Directory. We’ve distilled what we consider the most insightful and helpful articles on the topics that you―our readers―have told us you care about most, and have organized them into 15 scintillating collections.
In the fifth volume, we take a look at the common issue of consensus. The compilation starts at the basics, addresses the myths, then offers tools for building consensus practice and tips for facilitating such meetings. Further articles share anecdotes about how it has worked for specific communities or what questions came up along the way. Finally, we address the issue of blocking, which can indefinitely keep a group from further process. And our “team of experts” addresses the advantages and disadvantages of consensus as an effective tool for decision-making.
Learn the ins and outs of consensus, get the whole scoop, and hear all the perspectives in the Best of Communities Volume V: Consensus!
