V. Consensus Consensus is by far the most common form of decision making among intentional communities- but that doesn't mean everyone knows what they're doing or has stellar results. Consensus is based on the notion that it's better to cooperate than compete. But accepting that notion isn't enough to guarantee that you'll remember it in the heat of the moment.When someone disagrees strongly with something that matters a great deal to you, will you respond with curiosity or a clenched jaw? It's serious work to unlearn competitive conditioning, yet intentional communities are learning how to do it and this collection of 17 articles will give you an excellent overview of the road to cooperative culture through consensus, along with warnings about some of the more common potholes you're likely to encounter along the way.
