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.

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.
