How might we...

• Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
  • How might we enjoy exploring whether and how the principle of consent is fundamental for a governance system rooted in equity; love; and liberation?

Hypothesis

If we can uncover a real conflict to apply a practice of consent, for observation and reflection, then we can create space for shared reflection on its value as a seed kernel for governance rooted in equity, love, and liberation.

Design

• Tracy will give a short description of the principle of consent as its being used in governance systems grounded in equity.  
• The Harm and Healing sub-group will reflect on their definitions of consent, and reflect on stories of being in consent and out of consent with decisions.
• Group will explore whether there is an actual conflict, or a role-play of one, that we could use to experience decision-making guided by consent.

Metrics

minimum:

1.  Authentic engagement and open communication

success:

1. New insights and learning
2. Shared language and understanding (not necessarily agreement) in this group emerging

Failure:

1. Resistance
2. Less trust than when we started

Decisions

We did not do this experiment because it was similar to another proposed, so we just went with updated design
