I have a handful of ideas
Book Clubs
I would love to see more book clubs! Especially clearly facilitated book clubs. I think facilitation really helps get the most out of the books.
Some ideas include:
- Better Allies: Everyday actions to create inclusive, engaging workplaces
- Power Under - Trauma and Nonviolent Social Change
- Making Spaces Safer - A guide to Giving Harassment the boot Wherever you Work, Play and Gather
- My Grandmother’s Hands
- How to Measure Anything
- White Ally Toolkit- helping white people have a more productive dialogue with other white people about Racism
- On Intersectionality: Essential Writings of Kimberlé Crenshaw, or perhaps any of Kimberle Crenshaw’s books on intersectionality and social justice >> unfortunately this one isn’t yet available!
- How to Be an Antiracist
Regular NVC Practice Groups (for members!)
This seems like an easy one! Perhaps even working on things which might be actually alive in our workspaces! It may be vulnerable, but probably really valuable, and it’s hard to make time for that in meetings.
I’d love to see this at least once a month, both as general practice and as a part of relational hygiene.
More Warm Data
I also enjoyed the Warm Data sessions, but would love to see them in smaller more spread out chunks of time, and also with more direct connection to SoFA’s specific contexts.
Writer’s Workshop!
It’s already happening! @hope.wilder and @eric.tolson are facilitating it - maybe ya’ll can share info about where and when?
Power Mapping
(This one got added after some discussion below!)
It seems this could be a great regular practice! I wonder how we might format something like this so it’s useful as a regular practice.
Member Resources
I think it’d be great to get this rolling. @pcarmona and @wendy.pearle in IT circle will be working on this with me, if you have ideas for what would be useful, let us know in it.circle@sociocracyforall.org
What do you think?
I’m particularly curious to hear from folks in membership circle since member development is in Membership’s domain (@jerry.koch-gonzalez @Andrew.Grant @pcarmona @sofie.malm-3492 ), as well as folks from international circle (@nora.plaza @lea.shani @eric.tolson @hanna.fischer @phouben @kare.wangel @andreas.jonsson etc - thie list goes on!), as I know what may be valuable across cultures can differ!
