Abstract		The beginnings of the many voluntary activities in Slovenia coincide with the time of the awakening of national awareness. Even though voluntary work helped create the foundations of the Slovenian society, some activities fell prey to the monolithism of certain ideas. In the period of transition voluntary work has been developing a new significance for the integration of social complexity. In the second part, the author presents an example of how chaotic processes can be surpassed in a very diverse group. The developmental crisis may be overcome by way of consent with regard to the rules about the transition into a new mode of activity of the group. The main functions of the rules of conducet and communication in the period of transition are to ensure the safety of all participants, to stimulate the development of new ideas and not to overtake the process of reaching an agreement about the new ways of co-existence and co-operation.
