Rich and Nati have been supporting non-hierarchical organisations for more than five years, starting with the Occupy Movement in 2011, then co-founding Loomio (a worker co-op building software for collective decision-making) and Enspiral (a network of 250 tech activists experimenting with radical organizational forms).

We’re currently touring Korea, USA, Europe, and South America, meeting with all kinds of entrepreneurs, activists, coaches and organizers who are trying to work with less hierarchy and more collaboration: people in democratic workplaces, intentional communities, startups, collectives, and NGOs.

In our journey we've discovered that every group faces common challenges when they try to work non-hierarchically. In this workshop we'll share 8 collaboration patterns that have been proven to help groups overcome these common failure points, from group culture, to technology, decision-making and flattening power imbalances.

Most importantly, we don’t just tell people about participatory organizing, we practice it together, co-creating the workshop and learning by experience. You can bring your real challenges that you are facing in your team, organisation, or collective and we'll work together to design solutions you can try immediately.

La presentación del contenido sera principalmente en Ingles, pero Nati habla español, por lo cual la sección de preguntas y respuestas puede ser bilingüe.

To maximise accessibility, we have a sliding scale of ticket prices. If you can't afford a discounted ticket, but you really want to be there, send us an email at nati@loomio.org. We have a few scholarships available.

Spaces are limited.
