Hello NVC friends,

> As you many of you know the international NVC network is moving

> is an opportunity to learn – February 3rd in Northampton MA. This
> workshop is not limited to people with NVC experience. We may refer to
> some NVC principles but we will not be teaching NVC.

Is there an effective system of decision making and governance that
> values equality of power and is proven to work in businesses,
> nonprofits, social and political organizations?

Sociocracy
