Association Building Community
Table of contents
| This site is growing into its new wiki space. We are proud to invite you to explore it and contribute to the building of the online part of our community! If you are new please check out A Welcome for information about participation in ABC. If you aren't a member yet please email brandon at abcglobal dot net with a few words about your connection to the work here. Several pages on this wiki are not created by members of ABC, as this is not required to contribute a user page, so voices here do not always reflect consensus. Frontpage NEWSBoard alum and beloved friend, Michael Mansfield, wed the love of his life, Randy Swearingen, once again! But this time, thanks to the Supreme Court of California, the Oakland ceremony on June 17th, 2008 was as legal as it was beautiful. Video, article, and pictures here. Please make sure you add any page important to you to your "Watch page" list under the "More" menu above. | | Needing attention:

Iris and Brandon joined several others at Berkeley Cohousing for a Community Weaving workshop provided by Cheryl Honey of the Family Support Network. Brandon would love for there to be a long-term partnership between ABC and FSN, so please consider clicking over to their website and signing up in their database as a Good Neighbor. ABC has this super user-firendly wiki and FSN has a fabulous database with associated tools for really making community happen on the ground. If you participated in this group, please follow this link and contribute your notes and ideas to the support page here.
This year, Brandon brought the process arts and conflict facilitation skills to Texas to the United Methodist Church General Conference and is now assigned through ABC as the Executive Director of Aiki Extensions.
Leon and Patricia are both continuing to facilitate a Deep Listening group and contribute to the East Bay Chapter of the Network of Spiritual Progressives.

and MNv Healing our idea of conflict (usually something to be avoided) involves redefining peace as conflict done well. Learning to do conflict well is a martial art and requires a determined and rigorous approach to nonviolence.
