Sociocracy in 
Intentional Communities conference 2023
Deciding how we want to live
Are we all the same?
Steffen Emrich | 17:00 UTC
We are all the same, aren’t we?
Dealing with rank and power in communities.
In this session, I would like to engage in conversation with participants on the topic of rank and power. How do we deal with different rank in communities? Let’s reflect on this openly and honestly and what implications this may have for dealing with sociocracy.
Starting point for the discussion will be a short impulse of the speaker from his practice in consulting communities, but also other examples and impulses from the experience of the participants are invited and welcome.
