I lived in the Netherlands for a bit in the '80s and studied Dutch. I moved into an intentional community in 1990, where, in 2000, i learned about sociocracy. We had John Buck come down a couple of times and give us workshops. We formed some practice circles and practiced it for awhile. In 2009 or so i traveled to Wash., D.C., Vermont, and Rotterdam and made a 1/2 hour video https://youtu.be/x_sJmfzqT9w that is now online. Now, i’m part of a food co-op that is starting in my town of Charlottesville, VA, and, at least right now, we’re using sociocracy, so i’m excited about that.
