Real listening is a willingness
to let the other person change you.
Alan Alda
Being listened to and listening are essential elements in World Cafe - they are the ground that holds us.
Imagine entering a conversation, a meeting, a World Cafe with the willingness to "let the other person change you". What might change - in you, in the group, in the larger field? What might be possible that seemed impossible before?
"Letting the other change me" can be a radical shift in mindset and inner attitude. For some, it might feel like an opening, a relief, while for others the first steps with this practice might feel scary and challenging.
In our Community Cafe on October 18th, we will take time to reflect on the art of listening in World Cafe: listening with curiosity; listening to understand; listening with the willingness to be changed.
You are warmly invited! Come and join an international group of new and experienced World Cafe practitioners.
This is going to be a wonder-ful Community Cafe with some “special treats” that will only be unveiled during the gathering. This is not only the once-a-year “Learning Cafe” (which is part of the Hosting Fundamentals Course), but also the 5th anniversary of the Community Cafes!!!
