World Cafe reintroduces us to a world we have forgotten. This is a world where people naturally congregate because we want to be together. A world where we enjoy the ages-old process of good conversation, where we’re not afraid to talk about things that matter most to us. A world where we’re not separated, classified, or stereotyped. A world of simple greeting, free from techniques, technology, or artificiality. A world which constantly surprises us with the wisdom that exists not in any one of us, but in all of us. And a world where we learn that the wisdom we need to solve our problems is available when we talk together.
Margaret Wheatley’s beautiful writing about World Cafe, a process widely used to support focused rich conversations, reminds us of the deep possibilities for us if we congregate to talk with each other.
Worth reading the entire article to inspire us with reasons to continue to find ways to be with each other.
