House Meeting Protocol:

1. each person reads one definition from Pathways to Liberation until we complete it.
2. We each read through the list of needs and for any needs that are not met we use the formula: Because my need for X is not met, I feel (negative feeling). If need X is not met because of another person, then we guess at their feelings and needs and then work on a strategy to meet the needs of both parties.
3. If decisions need to be made, then they are raised and resolved using “The N-Street Davis Cohousing Method“.
