Join long-term communitarian and movement builder Sky Blue for a deep dive into cooperative self-governance for communities and beyond. You’ll gain a greater sense of clarity and possibility for how your group can align your governance system with your vision & culture.
A wise communitarian once said, the best thing about living in community is the people, and the worst thing about living in community is the people. And one of the places this shows up most is around governance.
Most of us have not spent much of our lives in cooperative systems & cultures, and we don’t magically know how to govern our communities in a collaborative way just by stepping into them. We bring in a lot of baggage along with our idealism. There’s a lot we need to learn and unlearn to do it well, particularly within a framework of equity and accessibility.
Sky (they/them) has spent over 25 years deeply embedded in the Intentional Communities Movement as an activist, organizer, consultant, and devoted communitarian. They have lived in seven different ICs and have visited over 130. Sky has served as Executive Director and on the Board of Directors for the Foundation for Intentional community, and worked with a variety of other movement-building organizations.
You can learn more about Sky and their work here.
You’ll get the Zoom link after you register in your confirmation email. Please check the spam folder of the inbox you use to register for an email from orders@ic.org.
Nothing pre-recorded here! When you sign-up for an event with FIC, you’ll have the opportunity to join a live session on Zoom with the event presenter/facilitator and other participants.
All our events are run on a sliding scale basis. Generous donations cover the costs for low-income attendees. FIC is committed to making our programs accessible to people of all walks of life.
You’ll receive the recording of your event to view for 60 days. So don’t worry if you can’t attend a live session. Watch or listen whenever it is convenient for you. Transcripts available upon request.
