Building a thriving community of practice – together

Since 1995, when the World Café process was discovered by a small group of businessmen and women, leaders, and visionaries meeting at the home of Juanita Brown and David Isaacs (you can read more about the history of World Cafe here), an astonishingly versatile and wide-reaching international community of practice has evolved.

This community has proven to be a generous one, resulting in many valuable benefits:

  • Access to free World Cafe Hosting Resources, including:
    • Cafe To Go: a comprehensive guide to hosting World Cafe
    • An image bank of key World Cafe illustrations & graphics
    • Translations of key articles and Hosting Guides
  • Support in finding World Cafe tools and materials
  • An international StoryNet of informative and inspiring stories about applying World Cafe – alone and in connection with other participatory practices – in diverse settings
  • Monthly Online Community World Cafes
  • Essential World Cafe Publications available as low-cost downloads

The international World Café community of practitioners is now at a turning point – about to enter an exciting new stage of our evolution. We have been looking at how to sustain ourselves financially so that we have the capacity to not only continue providing the above resources but step into our legacy and ultimate purpose as an agent of world benefit, as the visionary World Cafe co-founder and pioneer Finn Voldtofte recognized right away.

At the same time, we know that none of us can do the work that is called for now alone. The World Cafe’s growth & evolution has been hand-in-hand with that of a rich tapestry of other participatory practices – intersecting circles of pioneering friends and colleagues also engaged in bringing forward meaningful conversation for the purpose of positive social change. While we each continue to develop and evolve as individual communities, this international group of communities and practices also cross-pollinates in delightful and constantly evolving new ways.

We are delighted to introduce an accelerated way for you to become a vital part of these important shifts –  a way that will enhance our shared community, the larger field, and your individual practice.

For all that has been: Thank you. For all that is to come: Yes! ~ Dag Hammarskjöld

Yes! To all that is to come:
  • A bold new vision for the World Cafe & the “Central Garden” community of international practitioners AND a clear, simple model to sustain it financially
  • The recognition that we are truly “in this together” – that we are wiser together than we are alone, and that we need each other in order to step into the challenges and opportunities of today’s world.
  • The importance of creating spaces where we can ask the big questions and learn from each other.

What if, in addition to all the free benefits listed above that we have been able to provide over the years and will continue to provide, you could, for a small monthly fee (tax-deductible in the US), support the financial sustainability of the World Cafe community and provide for our ability to evolve together and meet the needs of our times? Well, you can! By subscribing to the Community Table!
