Reflecting & Imagining
Imagine yourself sitting in this chair, taking a moment to reflect next to the warmth and cheer of a lighted lantern and the view of this beautiful lake ... looking forward to being with friends and fellow travellers, and taking time to reflect on the "extra-ordinary" year that 2020 has been for so many of us; taking the space to imagine together into our hopes and dreams for 2021 and beyond...

We wish you moments of joy, awe, and wonder for this time "in between the years", as it is called in German.

With deep gratitude, we remember all the amazing events that have brought this global community of practice together in 2020. Thank you for showing up in all the ways you did. We look forward to a new year with even more possibilities to learn with and from each other.

Upcoming Events
Announcing: A Monthly World Cafe Hosting Dojo
This long-awaited program to support World Cafe hosts all over the world has finally arrived!

Offering hospitable space to meet each other, ask questions, receive the wisdom of the group, develop our practice and find our way to the "magic in the middle" together, these monthly online Hosting Dojos are for all World Cafe hosts and alumni of the World Cafe Signature Learning Programs.

This year we hosted TWO World Cafe Hosting Fundamentals courses, one with our long-term learning partner the Institution for Social Innovation (ISI) at Fielding Graduate University, and the other with the Connection Partners in St Petersburg, Florida.

Practitioners graduating from these courses are traditionally among the brightest, most exciting and informed new lights to enter the World Cafe community of practice. We want to nourish them - and all World Cafe hosts around the world - by providing a place to practice what we are learning, and connect with the larger global community of World Cafe hosts. We are wiser together!

Scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month, the first World Cafe Hosting Dojo starts January 6th. Register to be there!

Note: This is not a training; a basic grasp of World Cafe hosting is required.

Community Cafe January 9, 2021
Bring your World Cafe Story!
In this moment of reflecting and imagining, let’s come together for a Community World Cafe.
We invite you all to bring your World Cafe stories. Everyday stories that matter: your lived experience as a host or as a participant. Come and contribute to our well of shared learning and experience!

These Community Cafes give us a time to lean in and ask what we need and what we have to give as we step in to meet the challenges and celebrations before us, individually and together; a time to listen to others and to speak our truth. A time to remember we are in this together. 
Digital Sandbox - January 11
The new Community Table initiative - The Digital Sandbox - provides a safe space to explore technology and online hosting questions with peers.
Our next session will focus on exploring the field of online harvesting.

Note: This is not a training; some familiarity with online hosting is required.
Learning Together: Awakening Collaborative Wisdom January 27, 2021
This World Cafe Live! is part of a series of gatherings on "Learning Together".
Join a lively global community for courageous conversations grounded in authenticity, shared learning, and heart. This online inquiry engages the essence, practice, and cultivation of collaborative wisdom.

Your hosts for this World Cafe are Bruce Noll, Carol Gorelick, David Isaacs, Saba Imru-Mathieu, Gordon Brode, and Greta Anderson.
