The recent How to Start a Cooperative workshop is really only an overview. Every time I share the material, there are a few areas that always get extra questions, to which I can only reply “that’s really a whole workshop unto itself!” There are also areas which people don’t ask about, because after all, you don’t know what you don’t know… but from experience I knoew they are well worth the time to dive deep.
It seems now it’s time! The exact dates are not yet chosen for much of the series, but I anticipate each workshop being on held online on the 2nd week of each month on Wednesdays or Thursdays, so you could mark your calendars for now and just stay tuned.
The content as well is still subject to change, but below is an outline:
