SUMMARY:Psychological Safety and Conflict Resolution Planning
DESCRIPTION:About this class\n\n\n\nHow can sociocracy create a culture where all voices can be heard\, disagreement is welcome\, and people feel comfortable to be themselves? This training will highlight how the concepts of psychological safety and generative conflict can be intentionally cultivated through your facilitation and implementation of sociocracy. This is for you if:  \n\n\n\n\nYou have struggled to hold objections or disagreements when they arise\n\n\n\nYour group tends to agree to every proposal\n\n\n\nThere is a lot of similarity of experience and opinion in your group \n\n\n\nPeople get activated in your meetings and struggle to stay engaged \n\n\n\nYou’re not sure what steps of conflict response should happen in a circle meeting \n\n\n\nThe same conflicts and tensions have been coming up for years\n\n\n\nYou’ve had a lot of membership turnover in your group\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer\n\n\n\nMichelle Tsutsumi \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichelle Tsutsumi (she/her) lives in Secwepemcúl’ecw (BC\, Canada) and brings a depth of experience from her background in sensorimotor trauma therapy\, organic farming\, and communications. For over 20 years\, Michelle has used a systems lens to co-create participatory spaces where justice and equity are more structurally present within the nonprofit\, food justice\, and co-operative sectors. Through the workers co-op that she co-founded\, Michelle co-designs processes that enact anti-oppression\, community building\, and decolonial practices within self and organizations. Michelle became a Certified Sociocracy Facilitator in 2023 and a Certified Sociocracy Trainer in 2025. She currently holds the leader role in the SoFAN Co-op Circle and the SoFA English Practitioner Support Circle\, which tends to Academy and additional learning spaces. She is especially interested in practices that facilitate emergent spaces and the stamina to navigate transitions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nLeander Roth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeander Roth is the co-founder and mythematician of worker coop Spring Up\, and co-host of the podcast Getting Free Together.
