Compassion in Meetings: Sociocracy and Nonviolent Communication
Join Ted Rau and Jerry Koch-Gonzalez of Sociocracy for All for a 1-hour introduction to how using nonviolent communication and sociocracy TOGETHER provides us with a container for becoming the type of community members we know we can be.
Most of us are interested in community in part because we care about connection, belonging, and integrity. Applying the basics of nonviolent communication in meetings is a skill that can make sociocratic decision-making easier and community meetings more connecting.
Join us to learn how nonviolent communication and facilitating sociocracy circles go together and can help us be the community members we want to be by allowing us to show and witness compassion.
Key outcomes of this webinar:
If you are ready to dig deeper into sociocracy this session is a great introduction to Ted & Jerry’s upcoming course: Sociocracy Demystified

Loved by Community Builders
Teri’s presence, warmth, poise, experience and clarity. I quickly felt at ease and confident that she knew what she was talking about, and could share the material effectively, while also managing the group format. – Jeffrey B
What a beautiful gift to our intentional community builders and leaders! FIC’s programs provide a way for thinking and concerned people to collaborate for solutions to our multitude of global crises. Thank you FIC! – Terri Garcia
I am constantly impressed by the down-to-earth practicality of the FIC workshops combined with the philosophical questions that are so vital for us to explore. I’m grateful for the excellent planning and delivery of the workshops by skilled and inclusive presenters, who create a space that is both welcoming and invites participants to challenge existing ideas and world views. Well done and thank you FIC. – Claire Ogden
