The purpose of the association is the testing and implementation of ecological, climate-friendly and social land management. Solawi is an ancronym for \u201c<strong>So<\/strong>lidarische <strong>La<\/strong>nd<strong>wi<\/strong>rtschaft\u201d which is translated as \u201csolidary agriculture\u201d and meaning \u201csharing the harvest\u201d. It is similar to the US-concept of CSA, Community Supported Agriculture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The members of the association are cultivating plants on an area of 1 hectare and in a 250-square-meter foil greenhouse to feed 100 people from May to December. In 2018 they were able to harvest vegetables from mid-April to the end of January 2019 through improved storage facilities. The Solawi Bodensee farm is located in the Fichtenburgstrasse 51, 88048 Friedrichshafen-Raderach.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The aim of the case study is to hear from one of the organisation\u2019s leaders how they introduced and developed sociocracy in their Solawi (short for Solidarische Landwirtschaft, meaning: Community Supported Agriculture). We contacted Odette Lassonczyk, a co-founder and the sociocratic leader in the organisation, to conduct a conversation with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\"><strong>About Odette, our interviewee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Odette Lassonczyk is one of the founding members of Solawi Bodensee E.V. She is responsible for the introduction and development of sociocratic patterns and methods in the Solawi Bodensee association. She is married and got in contact with sociocracy, ecovillages,\u00a0and permaculture on her honeymoon with her husband seven years ago. She is a professional psychologist and since then an enthusiast for new ways of working and living.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Video link<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Conversation about the use of sociocracy of a CSA\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AECz-ATlgFk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\"><strong>The Interview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">This interview took place February 28th 2019 in the context of the course Sociocractic Leadership Training (Solt 10) by sociocracyforall.org. The interview took 1:46h so Sibilla Molinari and Oliver M\u00fcller, the two Solt10 students, transcribed the sequences that were the most interesting, inspiring and enlightening to them, and then sat down to reflect on the story they wanted to share from it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>We wanted to know how Odette\u00a0got started with the journey, that is Solawi Bodensee, so we asked her about the encounters she had, that led to starting it and then choose sociocracy as governance for it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:19:55)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>She brings us seven years back, to her honeymoon in La Palma, telling us how she got curious about a situation, and decided to go explore:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cWe found out there [were] two swiss [persons], Barbara and Erich Graf. [\u2026] We did a small course with them, and they introduced us to permaculture and ecovillages. They showed us how the earth was before and after permaculture, [\u2026] and I was just like: \u201cOh my god, this is a different world, and we are so old, and we can\u2019t do anything anymore, we can\u2019t become activists!\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Then Barbara said to us: \u201cWell, you see, I\u2019m planting this tree, and maybe I will never eat its fruit, but it doesn\u2019t matter. I\u2019m doing it for the next generations or for seven generations behind me,\u201d and I thought: \u201c[\u2026] I can still do something!\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>They then went on to research, how they could bring the inspirational living of Barbara and Erich into their lives. They found a video on CSA\u2019s (Community-Supported Agriculture, international word, for what they call \u2018Solawi \u2013 Solidarische Landwirtschaft\u2019 in Germany) and long story short, they did an open house style evening, where a lady who had done her bachelor in CSA\u2019s came to talk, and among the guests, the founding members of Solawi Bodensee were found.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>At this point, they now had land and they had gardeners, but no structure. So they did some networking at a big meeting. People from the oldest working Solawi associations were there, workshops and talks about related areas of interest were on the agenda \u2013 and there was a workshop on sociocracy.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:22:30)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>That led to the implementation, which ended up being a \u201clearning by doing\u201d process.\u00a0 Introducing sociocracy wasn\u2019t a problem. There were very few founders, and with no objections, they decided to put it in the by-laws. Odette and her husband were the only one who had some theoretical experience with sociocracy, so she was facilitating and teaching the others what she had learned:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI found a course in sociocracy [\u2026], so my husband and I went there and did the first module in sociocracy. We started the Solawi project and at the same time we did the training, so it wasn\u2019t really a sophisticated implementation it was more learning by doing. So while I was learning, I was implementing. We put it into our statutes, that we aim to use sociocracy. We had it really embedded from the beginning, and I used the circle method and consent from the beginning, but we were all learning at the same time so it was a bit of a strange situation. [\u2026] What an experiment! The people who are participating are [\u2026] not the sort of activist people, most of them are ordinary, more conservative people, but we managed to get the structure going and the voting and the delegates. The structure is still there and people are using it, so it was really really interesting, and I love sociocracy. I don\u2019t want to do anything else anymore because it\u2019s alive, it keeps people involved and I think that\u2019s the future\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:21:00)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>She later told us, that sharing leadership is important to keep a conflict-free organization, as sociocracy also encourages with its culture for all voices to be heard and (re)elections of roles. She took upon the leader role as she was the only one knowing about sociocracy. She wished to have shared that leadership looking back, but back then, the members contributed with what they had and expertise in leadership and sociocracy was what Odette could bring.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:30:42)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>We went on to talk about a conflict that rose half a year ago, and to get some context, Odette told us about the beginning four years, before the organization ran into conflict.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cSo, we were just very active, doing a lot of stuff, trying to get people to join us because we needed to pay wages to the gardeners. We needed to decide [\u2026] so many things [\u2026]. We did a lot of organizing\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:33:44)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>They also had to make their circle structure to attract people, and so we asked Odette, to tell us about how they came to evolve the circle structure they have.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201c We thought about what tasks need to be done, what are the domains we need in order to get our organization going. That we did [\u2026] in the leading circle, called \u201cKerngruppe\u201d [core group]. [\u2026] From that we started to recruit people for the circles because we knew we needed people for these domains so it was a bit of top-down\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cwe had big meetings like \u201cVollversammlung\u201d [all member meeting], we said; \u201cwe have these working groups, [would] anybody [\u2026] like to join\u201d \u2013 and then people came and joined and they knew from the beginning that they would join a circle. The leaders of the circle grew up with sociocracy so they were responsible to use it also in their subcircle and they\u2019re still doing it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>The autonomy is also living well in the circles:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cThey are free to\u00a0do what they need to do, they are free to decide things within their domains, but because the leader and the delegate are always in the leadership meeting they can always check with the leadership circle if there are any disagreements. So we are all linked with each other, nobody is\u00a0left out\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Oliver<\/strong>: It turned out later that these circles did not have any formal aim description where new members could consent too. Maybe this would add more stability to the structure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:39:47)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>There was a lesson learned from creating their circle structure:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI really regret that I had not built in a circle for conflicts. I did not think about it, it just worked all out so well I was really happy. And I got really surprised by the conflict that happened a few months ago\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>She told us about the conflict \u2013 and so the conversation went towards, trying to solve and point out the missing links that could have to do with the conflict, and sat stuck with it still.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>One area, was different values on lifestyle, progressive vs. conservative, alternative vs. traditional.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Sibilla:<\/strong> for me to also have the experience with conflicts in my ecovillage organisation and also currently focusing on how to prevent and be proactive on conflicts, this was an area of interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">I still remember what Kim [ team member from SoLT10 course] said, how it in other forms of governance is easier to, metaphorically, hide behind a mask. Sociocracy demands from you, that you show up with what you are, and what you feel and think. There isn\u2019t much hiding, but you\u2019re\u00a0also given a space for your voice, which is very powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">I could guess that given the lack of hands-on educational experience on sociocracy, it\u2019s hard to fully understand and live it in an organisation, and Odette went to tell us, that nobody spoke up about their frustrations when they occurred.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI think these people [who were included in the conflict] were not educated enough. They\u2019re not ready for showing up\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Odette says, and confirms Sibilla\u2019s thoughts and own experiences, that her organization has also experienced.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Sibilla:<\/strong> The matter of the fact is that we, as humans, have never had a space where it is encouraged to show up with everything you hold as an individual like sociocracy does, so if there isn\u2019t an explicit focus on how you are allowed to show up in a sociocratic organisation, it\u2019s only natural that you go about the accepted and known ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 00:47:18)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cWe have a supervision next week. We have somebody externally from non-violent communication to help us with it [\u2026]. So in the meantime after special coaching myself for conflict resolution I\u2019m visiting a webinar, I\u2019m doing a lot of research on conflict. I want to learn it and I found restorative circles by Dominic Barter. I want to learn that because I think that would be a good method that could be combined with sociocracy because it\u2019s also a circle method. They use it also in Auroville in the ecovillage in India because they discovered that there is the secret layer even with people who share values even with people who are in it together who share a lot of things but still there\u2019s this level of not telling the truth. That\u2019s why they are introducing restorative circles to have a room for people to speak the truth and I find that very interesting. So when I find difficulties in my life I start researching and learning\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Oliver<\/strong>: In the two organizations I work with sociocracy it was always the case that additional methods and practices were added. I think that\u2019s the great thing about sociocracy: it is so open to connect whatever you have and to make your own out of it. But this is also the challenge: sociocracy only unfolds its full potential once you made it your own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:25:25)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Oliver later asked, in relation to hearing about the organisation bringing in an external expertise, what other potential energies could help an organization:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI think introducing sociocracy would be better with an external adviser. Doing it only internally is far too hard, because it\u2019s too stressful because I was part of the whole project and I was introducing sociocracy, it\u2019s too much I wouldn\u2019t do it like that again okay I would prefer to be an external adviser [\u2026]. I mean I learned a lot through it, but [\u2026] it\u2019s not state-of-the-art.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:05:37)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Oliver asked about governance and Odette shared, that their learning [sociocracy] and doing [a sociocratic organisation] at the same time, and just going with the flow, isn\u2019t what she in most cases would recommend. Writing out your governance strategy and policies is crucial:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI think for continuity it\u2019s good [\u2026], to have it written down and to have it clear. Clarity, [\u2026] and many people rely on the written word and I think it\u2019s it\u2019s quite powerful to have it written down\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:37:55)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>She had a success story with proof that doing sociocratic governance orderly has a great outcome:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Odette: \u201cWe had to build a cisternae and to collect water because we had such a dry summer last year but that we did really orderly with consent and everything \u2013 and it\u2019s standing there\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Oliver: \u201cAnd was it different, like the contribution and the saying \u201cyes\u201d to that and the overall mood when you did it orderly?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>Odette: \u201cyeah much better, much better\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Sibilla:<\/strong> Okay then, lesson learnt; follow the procedure of how-to sociocracy. Also, we are too going to collect water in our ecovillage!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Oliver: <\/strong>This is happening all the time and it happens quickly when you are not aware of what you do. The leader really has to put energy in holding the space for the values and needs that underlies sociocratic governance. I now learned not to underestimate that fact of how much energy it takes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:09:40)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>When asked what her advice is to focus on when starting out with Sociocracy, she said:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cWe didn\u2019t take enough time on [reflections]. We were so focused on the doings of the project, that we didn\u2019t take time to self-reflect enough. I think now, I would insist on reflection time\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:16:24)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>One of the biggest insights we got, came from talking about people\u2019s own values, being clear about vision and expectations. Odette then realised something:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201c-but I\u2019m just thinking, anybody can join us. Anybody. I mean, we have no entrance requirements apart from that you pay 50 euros something, so anybody can join. So you have no interview or no nothing and maybe that\u2019s why [\u2026]. Normally when you join an organization you have some sort of requirements, don\u2019t you? I mean, if you join a company you have requirements, if you go to an ecovillage you have certain requirements, but in if you start an association, [\u2026] anybody can join so you can\u2019t really be sure that there are people joining who share your values\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:20:56)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>The conversation went on to discuss a potential solution, and it seemed to conclude, that new members to the association, subscribers, volunteers \u2013 anyone coming out to be a part of the farm association, should in some way consent to the values, that this is how they relate to each other [through sociocratic governance].<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cThis is a really big insight for me. It\u2019s not clear, when you join the Solawi that you\u2019ve joined a sociocratic club. You join, and you join a vegetable club\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Oliver<\/strong>: What we did now in one organization I am part of funding is to start writing down our vision, mission, aim statement; this emphasis it is a direct outcome of this interview.

The people within the circle structure are active members, but around that structure are vegetable subscribers, value sharing people, volunteers and more, that are not as active. These meetings brings everyone together.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cwe have big meetings where everybody comes, not everybody but maybe half the people, let\u2019s say 40 people turn up and for those meetings we do \u201cart of hosting\u201d, we do \u201copen space\u201d, or we do \u201cwork cafe\u201d things and I think for the big groups it\u2019s much more helpful than just sitting in circles so yeah I think that\u2019s a really good addition to do this big group facilitation stuff.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cThey got into contact with each other so they didn\u2019t just sit at their table with the people they know so they mixed and got talking to other people\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cThe motivation was to do community building and to really get people who are not active in the circles to get to know each other because in our Solawi not everybody is in a circle because just some vegetable members who just pick up the veggies and they don\u2019t have time to contribute\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cI think for the active people sociocracy is perfect but if you want to involve or have a forum or space for also the passive members just going with the flow is easier so that would be a nice addition I found\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Sibilla:<\/strong> I told Odette, how great an idea, I think this is.

We managed in a year to build an organization, that feeds 90 families \u2013 that\u2019s amazing. We got enough money and we have a flourishing community. Without sociocracy it would never work, because there would have been four or five people doing all the work \u2013 they would burn out.

And I think in Austria there\u2019s also more flexibility and I think they in the Austrian center they also have it in their constitution as far as I know. I think that\u2019s really really important because if the board can change and it\u2019s in the Constitution then you can lose everything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>(TIME ON VIDEO 01:46:07)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Sibilla: When I asked her, the question we formulated, about what we can learn, from her experience working with sociocracy for now four years, I loved the answer she gave:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><em>\u201cit\u2019s a wonderful method of sharing responsibility, and it\u2019s the future.
