Listen Now to Monica McGuire on Democracy 2.0

A lifestyle coach who teaches self-healing, Monica, like other healers such as Marianne Williamson, has embraced the political process of our country as part of her path towards creating a better world.  

Monica is not an advocate of the usual political process, however, but a politic enhanced by such ideas as wisdom councils, rank choice voting, non-convoluted bills, candidate forums, dynamic faciliation, and a focus on local government. She has some fresh ideas and we think you’ll enjoy hearing her speak of how Democracy 2.0 can take us to where we’d rather be..

Interview - Jim Rough with Corrina McFarlane and Ryan Sarnataro on Wisdom Council for Solving Community Issues, like the Santa Cruz Rail Corridor Use.

Listen Now to Jim Rough with Corrina and Ryan

Every community and company has its issues, but not all have a good way to resolve them effectly in a satisfying manner for most parties concerned.  Local Santa Cruz community and corporate problem solvers, Corrina McFarlane (corrinacorrina.1111@gmail.com) and Ryan Sarnataro (ryansanataro@calcentral.com)have been studying the Dynamic Facilitation work of Jim Rough (info@wisedemocracy.org) for many years and are bringing his ‘Wisdom Council’ approach to Santa Cruz next week, for training locals in dealing with local issues, specifically the contentious railway corridor issue, a 32 mile stretch of rail that could become a new mass transit corridor, or an excellent bike, ebike, pedestrian artery through town. 

We discuss with Jim his approach to problem solving such issues and how he will go about his special training program next week in Santa Cruz. We also get an update from Ryan Santoro on the rail corridor project. Enjoy!
