SUMMARY:January 2025 Community Cafe - Asia Pacific Time Zones
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 23\, 2025\n10am – 12:30pm Jakarta | 11am – 1:30 pm in Beijing | 12 – 2:30 pm in Tokyo | 2 – 4:30 pm in Sydney\nSliding Scale $5 – $20\nFREE FOR COMMUNITY TABLE SUBSCRIBERS\n(See the Community Table calendar for discount code) \nREGISTER NOW\nOur theme for the 2025 year of Community Cafes is “Breaths of Design”. \nIn January\, we’ll take time to reflect on our own experiences with the phases of  the diamond model that Sam Kaner introduced.\nThis is our first Community Cafe in the 2025 series. We are looking forward to bringing insights together! \nThese Community Cafes give us as a global community a time to “lean in”; a time to listen to others and to speak our truth. A time to remember we are in this together. \nFor our Community Cafes 2025\, we invite you on a journey with the “Breaths of Design” as our annual companion. The Breaths of Design are another lens\, another approach to designing participatory gatherings\, to preparing conversations\, taking action on important topics and reflecting on the process. \nThe Breaths of Design came from an Art of Hosting expansion on the work of Sam Kaner – a great example of the Central Garden Community at work. Drawing on this pattern\, we’ll take the time – one “breath” per month – to explore this pattern together and go deeper to find the value it offers. This is a time for asking questions and for sharing insights. We’ll learn from and with each other\, as we focus on our own experiences and immersion in the pattern. \nWe don’t assume that Community Cafe participants are familiar with the Breaths of Design or Sam Kaner’s work\, and will make sure that each Community Cafe will be accessible to all – no matter your previous experience or knowledge. \nThe Breaths of Design originated in the Diamond of Participatory Decision-Making from Sam Kaner’s Facilitator’s Guide to Participatory Decision-Making and in many years of evolution in the field of the Art of Hosting. Some of you might know them as the “5 Breaths” or the “8 Breaths”\, depending on the context and the time of your first encounter with this concept. \nHere is a brief overview of the year’s focus: Introduction to Breaths of Design (January) – Feel the Need and Call (February) – Clarify Purpose (March) – Invite and Design (April) – Meet (May) – Harvest (June) – Act (July) – Learning Cafe (September\, topic TBD) – Reflect and Learn (October) – Looking back on 2025 (November)

SUMMARY:Community Cafe Americas-Europe
DESCRIPTION:A Leader in Every Chair\nSeptember 19 | 10 am San Francisco | 1 pm New York | 7 pm Vienna \nWe invite you to join us in an inquiry: What does shared leadership mean to each of us? How might acknowledging a leader in every chair change our conversations\, our actions\, our organizations? If we all hold shared responsibility for the well-being of the whole\, how does this affect the outcomes of our meetings and shift the dynamics in the room?  \nThis month’s Community Cafe is a “Learning Cafe”\, where we will be joined by participants from the World Cafe Hosting Fundamentals course. It will include reflections on the World Cafe method. \nMore Information and Registration

SUMMARY:Asia-Pacific Community Cafe July
DESCRIPTION:Our theme for the 2024 year of Community Cafes is “Deepening our Practice”. We will be using the World Cafe Design Principles as our guiding North Star\, and each month\, we will deepen our inquiry into one of the design principles.  \nListening together for patterns and Insights (the sixth World Cafe Design Principle) allows the group to identify common themes\, insights\, and ideas that emerge from the conversations. From there\, we can harness the collective intelligence of the group and create a shared understanding that drives collaborative action. \nThe Community Cafes are for everyone – whether you are a practitioner of World Cafe and/or another participatory practice\, drawn in by the topic\, or simply curious to experience a World Cafe – please join us.  \nMore Information and Registration

We recognize and value the richness that different viewpoints bring to the table and use that diversity to enhance understanding and innovation.  \nImagine what might happen if you look through the prism from the right side or from the left.

SUMMARY:Americas-Europe Community Cafe April
DESCRIPTION:Our theme for the 2024 year of Community Cafes is “Deepening our Practice”. We will be using the World Cafe Design Principles as our guiding North Star\, and each month\, we will deepen our inquiry into one of the design principles.  \n“Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves\, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually\, without noticing it\, live along some distant day into the answer.” \nLetters to a Young Poet | Rainer Maria Rilke \nRilke’s invitation to live and to love questions has been with us as we are designing this month’s Community Cafes – focusing on the third World Cafe Design Principle: Exploring Questions that Matter. \nWe invite you to join us for a Community Cafe where we will be spending time in conversation about questions that matter. Sharing our own experiences as participants\, as hosts\, as human beings: what are questions that have shifted our perspective\, maybe even changed our life? We’ll be exploring questions that we were asked – and questions we asked others. We are looking forward to hearing your stories and to digging a little deeper into the qualities and elements of powerful questions. \nWhether you are a long-time practitioner of World Cafe or other participatory practices – or you are simply curious to experience a World Cafe – or you are drawn in by the topic – you are VERY welcome.  \nThese Community Cafes give us as a global community a time to “lean in”; a time to listen to others and to speak our truth. A time to remember we are in this together. \nMore information and registration

SUMMARY:Community Cafe Americas-Europe Nov 2023
DESCRIPTION:I shall stand for love\, even with a broken soul\, even with a heavy heart. \nThese words from a poem by Dorothy Oger have been with us as we were designing this month’s Community Cafes. \nStanding for love can mean so many different things: caring for someone or for something; standing for our values; loving the Earth and making sustainable choices; witnessing others; showing up even when times are tough; and so much more. Standing for love often is linked to compassion\, curiosity and courage.  \nWe want to take time in our Community Cafes this month to explore this field of “Standing for Love”.  \nMore Information and Registration
