FoAM bxl gathering June 2017
Focus: how do we want to work and collaborate together from now onwards? Present: Luea, Michka, Rasa, Ingrid, Maja
Constellation: How can we align for out collective intention to emerge?
Roles:
- collective intention
- trust
- what needs to be acknowledged / healed
- locality / localities
Working of FoAM Brussels:
communication (online) = good practices for healing and trust - communication ground rules for being a collective without the space
New Rules:
- Slack is the main communication tool (set up by Ingrid) with categories:
- #fun
- #practical
(and possibly also: #unknown, #linkz, #urgent reply)
- Be committed to respond to emails on internal lists & slack when a reaction is requested. At least send a [*]
- write in the #urgent reply slack channel or write “RESPOND” in the email subject line
- we <3 Doodle
- we set timeframes for closing a doodle
- once a doodle is closed, it’s closed
- we commit to a date, even if someone has to cancel
- We will use ‘zoom’ on Luea’s account
Still questions:
- calls: who takes care? Who coordinates? Who initiates?
updates & exchange (online & in real life) Rhythm: (starting in september) calls: every 6 weeks
- As many people join as possible
- Luea Doodles
- These calls includes talks about resources & practicalities
Short live meetings: a monthly “strammtisch”
- Everyone who is present in Brussels
- Starting in september
- Who Doodles or proposes date?
Retreat: Once a year preferably in the spring
- For the active FoAM Bxl members
- We check for a date in september
Documentation: Subwiki for inner circle Bxl as a knowledge repository Digital updates on practice —> see the procedures already in place within the FoAM network
collective practice
- Workshops on topics we want to investigate further / workshops we want to give. These will be internal + open to external people for money.A wiki will be set up with requests & offers. Ingrid wants to organize.
