Various Sociocracy Training September 2016 onwards

[Francois Knuchel]

So, what's happening with sociocracy in the UK and around the world?  Renewed vigour after Brexit?  The need for sociocracy could never have been greater.  More people want to learn basic skills in consent-based decision-making.  Luckily there are plenty of sociocracy courses, training or tele-/webi-nars around.  Here are some from September 2016 onwards:

Immediately, later today, 1st September 1-hour telenar (teleconference call) with James Priest introducing Sociocracy 3.0 at 4pm UK time:  see details here.

Last-minute holiday? LEARNING VACATION IN GREECE:  If you haven't been on vacation yet and fancy doing some vacationing at the beach in a remote part of Greece while also learning sociocracy for part of the day, then there are still places on:  Building Enthusiastic Teams With Sociocracy (Sociocracy For Dummies) - a one week learn, practice and play retreat in a Greek paradise

• 2-9 September, Kalikalos Centre (at Anilio), Mt Pelion, Thessaly, Greece
• There'll be plenty of time to for a good introduction to the essence of Sociocracy, and I'll be teaching in a way that, hopefully, anyone can understand, practice and start flying with it - revealing its elegant simplicity and applicability. There'll also be plenty of time to enjoy and explore the area around Mt Pelion, with its awesome natural beauty, hills, forest and coves.
