Good government is no substitute for self-government. – M.K. Gandhi

This forum will explore richer, more expansive possibilities for citizen self-governance beyond experiments in representative, propertied democracies. Drawing upon Mahatma Gandhi and others, the forum will focus on discussing: What is meant by self-governance on behalf of individuals and groups? And, what conditions can be created to instantiate a more self-governing society for today and for the emerging civilization of the future?
