INTRODUCTION to: Consensus forming communication learning space



Next Monday, 7th November, 7pm - 9pm, at ALP, Tollcross
(Tollcross Community Centre, 117 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh EH3 9QG )

A free space is being made to come together to practise and learn Consensus forming communication.

Consensus forming communication, next to knowledge acquisition and practical action, is the first and foremost need of our time where there is so much and so little knowledge about regards what is amiss with our so-called 'economy'.

How do we listen best to each other?
How do we help each other and ourselves to express what wants and what needs to be said?
How do learn to discern and trust?
How do we create the enabling conditions, in a room/space and via a format?

Come along along to search, to find and to refine.

Resource referred to, apart from your own precious kenning it already, will be:

Come prepared in the best way you can.
There will be future circles, but based on what participants then decide as topics for the circles, and which then will necessitate preparation as requested by the hosts who wish to practise how to take turns.

Discussion guides as can be found here
http://livingeconomiesforum.org/sites/files/images/Agenda2_Guide_2010.pdf

are recommended for working together to see and find the whole picture of the actions necessary to heal our phantom economy and transform it into a real economy.

The best way to start doing this is to learn how and to practise best possible consensus forming dialogue in a peer-spirit circle.
