Community Building for a New Shared Ownership Agenda
Unleashing Cooperative Principles for a New Economy
a 4-week virtual workshop for leaders seeking to reflect on what cooperative economy principles have to offer us in this unique moment as we seek to build an economy for our collective flourishing
As a result of the authenticity and skill of the facilitation, I and every group member were surprised by how quickly we were able to drop into high-trust sharing and collaboration. The amount that we got "figured out" in a short amount of time was remarkable, life changing for many of us, and potentially world transforming.

Overview
The workshop is for people who are seeking a bold new imagination around how to build an economy that is rooted in shared prosperity. By prosperity, we refer not only to wealth, but to our health, relational capital, resilience and self-actualization in community. We seek participants who are versed in shared ownership as a tool for wellbeing, as well as those who are simply interested in better understanding its promise and application. Mostly, we seek to build a community that is eager to learn, dream and imagine together how we craft a new agenda for a shared ownership economy.

Time involved? This workshop is about you. The more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it. We expect this can be done on top of a current full-time job and with a family (and kids out of school and summer camp). It can also be done in this strange time of anxiety, uncertainty, and public health crisis. We expect that at a minimum there will be 2-3 hours of in-person virtual peer group and meeting time each week. There will also be 3-5 hours of additional time writing and working on your projects each week. In other words, we expect 5-10 hours each week will be focused on this workshop -- but could easily see it being more for those who want to get the most out of it.
