Video's on World Café

Tagged with:

World Café Europe will have its second gathering in a few weeks time. The first time they met in Dresden, and there are now eight video's on YouTube, which give an overview of what happened there. Especially the first and the eight video gives you a broader perspective of what World Café is really about. 

It is also nice to see the faces and hear the voices of the founders - Juanita Brown and David Isaacs - and some others that hold the deep core values of this methodology: Anne Dosher and Tom Hurley.  read more »

I have had the good and difficult fortune of being in Zimbabwe at Kufunda for the past two weeks and I can tell you that it is incredible to witness the courage that is required just to survive here.  People are exhausted, discouraged, frightened and angry.  But the conversations that I have been blessed to be a part of have been about how to claim power in their own lives, in their relationships and in the promises they make and keep with each other.  The ability to keep the most simple commitment in the midst of this chaos and uncertainty is an act of courage and effort.

Moving from my heart

moving from my heart 
I enter the unknow

finding life each day...
as the scale grows organically
I respond as I can best
almost as a relunctant warrior for peace

but what have I got to loose
by giving of myself

letting go
to the hidden 
but subtle harmony 
within

Thoughts for the Day

;; sharing 2 thoughts for the day...Smile

 

\begin{Thought A}


I currently work as a consultant in a virtual organization which has no physical offices. The organization aims to be a network-centric without hierarchy. However, I see the subtle existence of situated social power that selectively introduces implicit (or unexpected) hierarchy among relationships that ultimately influences perception, reward and recognition for individual associates.

After thinking a little about the spaces that we hold when we call people together for dialogue and reflection on various subjects, and trigerred by a question that surfaced in response to my first blog post, I got thinking about the idea of containers... and came up with the following reflections

Bérétéké

Hello, dear ones all! Here's a light-hearted offering from our recent Art of Hosting training in Belgium. As I edited the video, I was rather awed by the fact that Ria and I both had the presence of mind - unpremeditated - to grab the camcorders and film from opposite ends of the room... The glory of teamwork!
