So often, we hear people say that they want more distributed decision-making, more participation, less hierarchy. But, few know how to do that in practice.
Developed in the Netherlands and adapted to many intentional communities, co-housing developments, co-ops, and nonprofits around the world, sociocracy is the most robust, flexible, participatory, and effective governance system we have studied to date.
