Rich Bartlett and Nati Lombardo from the Loomio team in New Zealand are touring through the US, and they will be stopping in Portland to offer a workshop on collaborative culture and non-hierarchical organizing.
Nati & Rich combine storytelling and participation to learn together about democratic, bottom-up organizing at different scales. Creating a space for reflection, supporting people to take a step back from their day-to-day work and focus on how they are working together. Identifying common challenges that groups face when they try to collaborate, and offering tools and processes that have been proven to overcome these common failure points. Most importantly, They don’t just tell people about participatory organizing, we will practice it together, co-creating the workshop and learning by experience.
Rich and Nati have been engaged in the craft of participatory organizing for more than five years, starting with Occupy in 2011, co-founding Loomio (a worker co-op and social enterprise building software for collective decision-making) and Enspiral (a network of 250 tech activists experimenting with radical organizational forms).

Organizing democratically is hard! How do we hear from everyone and still get work done? How do we grow a collaborative culture while we still live within a competitive society? When nobody is the boss, how do we handle money, information, and power?
