Practices for growing out of dominator culture

I collect social processes that enable people to move out of “domination” culture, and into “partnership” culture. I usually curate them into this epic list of self-management resources, or into the microsolidarity site.

Here are some of the recent additions to the library:

• Pods and Pod Mapping by Mia Mingus for the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective. Your “pod” is the people that you would call on for support if harm had been done to you, or you’d done harm. I love this article because the author shares my assumption that simple precise language can make vague ideas like “organise your community” immediate and accessible.

• 36 Qs for increasing closeness, an example from Recipes for Wellbeing.

• Turtles Rule!: one of many games in the Future Togetherness Handbook. I like it because it is an extremely simple way for people to notice the different roles they can play in a group.

• Death Over Dinner: an app that supports you to host a dinner party conversation about death. It’s extraordinarily well designed, check it out. See also Drugs Over Dinner.

• Re-evaluation Counseling is a simple and powerful method for peer-to-peer therapy.

• Memetic mediator Peter Limberg is curating a juicy list of conversational methodologies.
