consensus

[Birgitt Williams]

Hi all,
I am picking up on the topic of consensus decision making. The best
consensus method that I have experienced was one introduced to us by
Chris Weaver called Five to Fold. You can find a write up of this in the
archives of our Wellness (R) Evolution Ezine issue # 15  at HYPERLINK
"http://www.dalarinternational.com/ezine.html"http://www.dalarinternatio
nal.com/ezine.html . The technique is respectful, sacred, simple, and
produces incredible results.
 
Blessings,
Birgitt

Thanks for the references, John 
 
(for the others interested, the text can be found here: HYPERLINK
"http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=41&ItemID=4796"ht
tp://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=41&ItemID=4796).
 
I agree that he is close to some concepts of OST. But I think he never
heard about it. At least he only talks about the consensus process as
being "guided by experienced facilitators". See the full quotation:
"Consensus is often misunderstood. One often hears critics claim it
would cause stifling conformity but almost never by anyone who has
actually observed consensus in action, at least, as guided by trained,
experienced facilitators...".
 
There are interesting and controversial ideias combined and one has to
read mainly the former, but that's ok...  
 
Warm regards
 
Artur
