From Monastery to Participatory Democracy with Andy Paice
In this episode, Julia and Andy covered:
• Participatory democracy is about a deeper level of democracy .e.g Citizen’s assembly to listen to diverse voices and find common solutions
• Danger of spiritual bypassing when engaged in spiritual practices at the expense of everyday relationships in society
• ‘Deep democracy’ tries to draw inner voices into democratic process as microcosm of outer world
• Talking in circle ‘until the obvious arises’ leads to real solutions
• Facilitator balances aim of meeting with making people comfortable to take part
• Appreciative enquiry to use imagination through crafts or drawing so that people have chance to express themselves through different methods
• Dynamic facilitation to reflect back what you’ve heard and to create a safe space where creative solutions can emerge rather than fighting about different opinions
• Diversity in facilitators to match diversity of participants and to ensure that there isn’t a power imbalance
• Parliament as opposite of circle holding – paradigms that current society build on makes collaboration harder
