Crisha, I'm in Philadelphia--where in PA are you? It would be great if we were able to connect. Maybe we could find a way to bring a workshop here!

I'm only an hour and a half at most from Philadelphia. I was just there at the beginning of January visiting old college friends. I live just outside of Lancaster, Pa.

My daughter goes to Millersville and I went to F&M--love Lancaster! We should definitely try to connect!

Hi, Michele and Crisha!  I'm in the Harrisburg, PA area. I'd love to get together with dialogue types who are based in Pennsylvania.  I work nationally, not locally, so I'm always in front of my computer and don't meet enough people who live near me who do this work.  I run the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD), which is a network of about 1500 organizations and professionals who work in public engagement and community problem-solving.

I just finished my Masters in Art Ed at Millersville last May. It's a small world sometimes.

Hi Crisha -

I regularly offer World Cafe workshops in my region (Pacific Northwest) and also in other parts of the country, usually as part of a "capacity building" social change contract of one kind or another. I would be happy to share a design with you. And would love to come do it, but probably neither of us can afford the travel expense...Most recent experience was last week with 50 participants in Bellingham WA, a four hour workshop that include a Cafe experience and then work on various aspects of design and question-shaping.

Here are two things to check out on the NCDD site that could be helpful...

- Our "upcoming events" tag, where we post about upcoming trainings, workshops, courses, etc. -- http://ncdd.org/tag/upcoming-events

- Our discounts page, where we list all the workshops and trainings organizations are offering at discounted rates to NCDD members (many of the best trainings in dialogue & deliberation are listed here) -- http://ncdd.org/discounts
