CONCENSUS DECIDION MAKING Works

thanx for comments on Wholism. I've done concensus many times & hours. It does take long if we truly want to reach honest agreements & trustable commitments from hearing our concerns, purposes, potentials, fears, needs, etc, for being more consciously cooperating together.

The split between experts, pros & leaders needing followers, helpers, students, servants or employers etc, & us plain folks into social equality, deep respect, volunteering, learning together, sharing, playing, exploring options, directions, needs & resistance into real committing to a clear path working with trusting our changeable agreements. We each have varied learn-abilities of changing moment to moment, planning, spontaneous, words, results, feedback & action oriented in teams & networking for shared goals, visions & real needs to grow with.

We need to begin grouping by agreeing on how were going to meet, where & share together, brainstorming, feelings, possibilities & making decisions on goals for actions by who in dependable roles & jobs, with what: costs, people, tools, $, space, resources, energy & needs helping to get our purposes done. We gotta ask plenty of clear relevant questions, listening to answers. Steering our ship together takes flexible awareness, learning, flowing & even reversing beliefs, aims, etc.is fun not attached to hard positions & planned results. MS

aloha Isabella i agree with 100% your awareness we need in meetings to keep it flowing & growing, fair & honestly responding to deep concerns of needs, methods & results/effects of beliefs, agreements & actions. How do we know if we fill our goals? needs feedback & clarity before we launch it. Real success is obvious if we agreed on outcomes -> celebration?!

Like truth is self-evident, & experience is evidence does need clear acknowledging without more reasons. Some like to repeat activities, gives them security in role-playing for results. I don't like repeating much, unless we're growing deep & further with it, not stuck in roles, we enjoy doing now.

Needs & opinions, beliefs & goals are different, addressed as values we share or not. Disagreeing is good if we respect those arguing without put-downs of people. These guideline needs agreement to work in free grouprocess enjoying our sharing, opening & being together!? micheal sunanda
