This 20 minute video lays out the basics you need to understand how the guilds work. In the video we cover:

  • Sociocracy as our organizing framework.
  • The Lifeboat Academy as Organism with organs (the guilds) 
  • Delegation of influence via Guild Driver Statements
  • Chores vs. Projects
  • Roles: 
    • Caretaker - the point person in the guild
    • Helper, Apprentice, Peer, Mentor
  • Badges - the skills necessary to do the work of the guild
    • Shadowing and skill sharing
  • Fractal Planning
  • Balanced Energy Flow
