For decades, Diana Leafe Christian has been researching and giving workshops on ecovillages. She feels that sociocracy is one of the most effective methods of governance for serving intentional communities. It is a whole-system science that goes a step beyond consensus- governing practices. It uses transparency and inclusiveness, and creates a resilient and coherent system.
