Conversations that matter

The first World Cafe took place in this room in the home of Juanita Brown and David Isaacs in Mill Valley, California:

The World Cafe vision is to shape the world as cafe, that is, to promote the concept that we can design, convene, and host conversations to address significant questions. David calls this “conversational leadership.” Our collective self is becoming self-aware. We are at the appropirate time in history to boost our collective intelligence through dialogue.

I’m excited by the opportunity to augment The World Cafe by multiplying two-way connections, moving from push to pull, and building a Learnscape an ecology that enables participants to learn from one another and become self-sustaining.

I’m probably overstepping my bounds here; Juanita was in Florida on family matters. Also, given that one of my suggestions was to invite general participation in the renewal process, this is more brainstorming than planning.
