Community Assemblies – How to engage community in democratic participation that is fun, builds connections and produces results

One of the primary goals of a Wellbeing Economy is to get people involved in their local democracies in a way that feels life giving, productive and satisfying.   Community gatherings and assemblies are shown to accomplish this, and also create positive connectivity among stakeholders and produce a sense of inner wellbeing.

On Wed, Sep 17 at 11am Pacific, Louis Alloro of Wellbeing Lab, Powered by Champions of Change will present on the strengths-based and future-focused work he has been leading all over the country to convene communities on topics that matter.  He’ll explain how he worked with the City of Palmdale to convene 200 professionals to set a vision and plan for how to better prevent mental illness, substance abuse, crime, violence and financial ruin in the Antelope Valley.

Louis incorporates a variety of techniques designed to produce connection, safety and wellbeing.

As always, there will be plenty of time for Q&A so that you can learn what this might look like in your community or workplace.

Local Spotlight – Complete Neighborhoods in Hayward

When you imagine your ideal future, what does your neighborhood look like?   Is it green?  Are the people friendly?   Do you have to struggle through lots of traffic to get your errands done?

The Complete Neighborhoods movement is appealing because almost everything you need is within walking distance and the community has the feel of a village where people support each other and want to spend time with each other.

Didacus Ramos has been a community leader in Hayward for 20 years, working on affordable housing, public banking and many other civic projects.

His latest initiative, Complete Neighborhoods, is a part of the Strong Towns project.

Join us on Thursday, April 24 at 10am to learn more about this project and to inquire how you can replicate some of this in your community.
