New Course Starting Sunday: Developing Consensus Online

Sorry for the late notice, but there's a new class starting up this Sunday, March 25th at Libertalia. Eric is going to be facilitating a discussion on consensus- what it is and how to reach it- in our online, networked world. The group will sketch out what consensus looks like online and will codesign an online tool for coming to consensus. The group will learn together about the different decision-making and consensus methods we apply within our organizations and collaboratively design and build these into online tools that can enhance and complement them. Here's the details one more time: What: Codesigning an Online Consensus Tool When: Sunday April 25th, 1:30 to 3:00, repeating every other Sunday. Where: Libertalia Autonomous Space, 280 Broadway 2nd floor

The Heavy Root of Poetry: Street Theater, Graffiti, Folk Song, Writing and Singing While Walking 
Saturday 3/10, 12-4pm
at Libertalia
led by Robi (rsnyderm@gmail.com)
From Robi: Song and poetry gather the voices and stories of a place, carry them, make them at once a monument and an experience, a ritual, a returning and a rapture, carry what has happened to the people in that place, carry the prophecies of those people in that place. This workshop will involve intensive meditation-based writing; a lecture and discussion on giving and receiving poetry within the physical and social architecture of this country: through the community and publicity and protest of graffiti, street theater, folk songs; through the privacy of writing or singing while wandering.
