SUMMARY:March Community Cafe - Asia Pacific Time Zones
DESCRIPTION:🌿 What Allows Real Connection to Grow?\nWednesday\, March 2\, 2026\n6 – 8:30 pm Jakarta | 7 – 9:30 pm in Beijing | 8pm – 10:30 pm in Tokyo\n“When I let go of what I am\, I become what I might be.”\n~ Lao Tzu \nIn a world that moves quickly and fragments easily\, real connection rarely happens by accident. \nLao Tzu reminds us that growth begins in letting go — of fixed identities\, fixed opinions\, fixed expectations. Perhaps connection\, too\, requires a kind of spaciousness. A willingness to release certainty. A readiness to meet one another freshly. \nReal connection goes beyond surface interaction. It forms when presence deepens\, when listening softens us\, when trust quietly takes root. It grows where there is courage to be authentic and generosity to truly receive one another. \nIn this March Asian Pacific Online World Café\, sponsored by the World Café Community Foundation\, we gather across cultures and time zones to create the conditions where such connection can emerge. \nThrough shared reflection and meaningful dialogue\, we explore how connection is discovered\, cultivated\, and sustained — and how\, as connection grows\, so do we. \nLet us gather.\nLet us listen.\nLet us grow — together. \nREGISTER HERE\n(free to Community Table subscribers – see the discount code in the Community Table calendar) \nThis online Community Cafe is part of an ongoing series we host every month for the World Cafe community and for the larger Central Garden of participatory practices. These 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 all in this together.

SUMMARY:February Community Cafe - Asia Pacific Time Zones

This Community Café invites us to explore well-being as a shared practice — shaped through relationships\, purpose\, care\, and even moments of friction. Through our conversations\, we’ll reflect on what truly nourishes us and what it means to cultivate a life of meaning\, connection\, and collective flourishing. \nJoin us for this month’s Community World Cafe in an Asia Pacific time zone. Our topic for this month is “Gifts from the World Cafe: Imagining Community Together“. \nREGISTER HERE\n(free to Community Table subscribers – see the discount code in the Community Table calendar) \nThis online Community Cafe is part of an ongoing series we host every month for the World Cafe community and for the larger Central Garden of participatory practices.

SUMMARY:LEARNING PARTNER: Beyond Facilitation 2025
DESCRIPTION:JOIN World Cafe Learning Partner Amy Lenzo and Mary Alice Arthur in \nBEYOND FACILITATION 2025\nMONDAYS\, OCTOBER 27TH – NOV 11TH\nThere are so many things changing right at the moment\, that it can feel we are continually standing on the edge of the unknown. In many places the mood is fearful\, conflictual or depressed. Systems\, businesses and people are struggling. \nWe’ve been keeping an eye on some of our close colleagues who are pioneering how to work at the edges and at the intersection of CHAOS and CHAMOS — which is a Greek word for fundamental breakdown. We want to hear and harvest their stories to give us both courage and new perspectives about how to host in these challenging times. \nSharing and harvesting stories of working with challenge and pioneering at the edges is a great practice for times like these. \nWe will be using the Collective Story Harvest method — which Mary Alice helped create —  to work with these stories and to give you a powerful methodology for engaging and involving the people and systems you work with so they can survive and thrive. \nIt’s time to do things differently. Come and learn from practitioners working at the edge and see how our stories and applied story work can provide a place where we can take shelter from the storm and find understanding and strength with each other. This is how to find the future in the present. \nMORE INFORMATION & REGISTRATION\n(30% OFF GROUPS OF 3 OR MORE + COMMUNITY TABLE SUBSCRIBERS)

SUMMARY:JUNE COMMUNITY CAFE in the Asia Pacific Time Zone
DESCRIPTION:Our theme for the 2025 year of Community Cafes is “Breaths of Design”. In June\, we’ll take time to reflect on our own experiences with the fifth Breath: Harvest. We are looking forward to bringing insights 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 we 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) \nREGISTER HERE

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)
