Consensus, Facilitation & Liberation: A Workshop on Consensus Decision-Making for Group Work
The consensus process is much more than a decision-making tool. It is a creative process which synthesizes the raw materials and ideas each of us brings to group work. It is a radical method through which we can confront power and reject the outmoded hierarchical forms of group work we are used to participating in.
This workshop focuses on consensus as a revolutionary and liberating practice, exploring its potential as an organizing tool through group discussions, storytelling and games. We look at consensus decision making as a cyclical process, providing a framework for what is often an abstract experience and revealing the flexibility inherent in the structure. In learning the tools used in consensus group work and the individual roles and responsibilities within the process, we come to a deeper understanding of consensus mechanics. We also focus on the specific role of facilitation in the consensus process. Through shared experience, hands-on training, and challenging exercises, we arrive at a deeper understanding of what it means to facilitate the consensus process, what the possibilities and pitfalls of this role are, and what tools are available to empower the facilitator and create a culture of co-facilitation in a group.
