Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter

Hello all!

I'd be very keen to convene a Stammtisch in the Vancouver area with other Cafe/Open Space/AoH practitioners. I'm not quite sure what this would look like, but I imagine it to be a casual sharing of experiences, questions, stories, resources or whatever else we can offer one another. If you're interested in joining me, please send a message and we'll go from there.

A Stammtish is German concept meaning something akin to a "regular's table". So if you're interested in meeting regularly, this gathering is for you!

Hi Jenn,
I'm not sure what a Stammtisch is exactly--but if you are doing it in Seattle you might want to contact Charles Holmes of the Dalai Lama Center ([email protected]) who has done a lot of process work there through his Connecting for Change initiative.
With warm regards,
Juanita
Hi Juanita. Thank you for the connection to Charles Holmes. I have been interested in connecting with the Dalai Lama Centre since its inception.

I'm new to the Stammtisch concept too, but it seemed like the right idea for a the type of gathering I'm interested in. My understanding it that it is a German concept meaning something akin to "regular's table".

Also, thank you for a wonderful time at the Pegasus conference. I didn't get a chance to meet you in person, but very much enjoyed the Multigenerational session. It became so clear to me in talking with the amazing women at my Cafe table that one of the the gifts the 30-somethings bring is having grown believing girls/women can do anything. What a shift!

Hi Jenn - I'm not in the Vancouver Area, but I have never heard of a 'stammtisch' and you've got my curiosity up...what is that?
Hi Laurie,

I'm new to the Stammtisch concept too, but it seemed like the right idea for a the type of gathering I'm interested in. My understanding it that it is a German concept meaning something akin to "regular's table". And that's the type of group I'd like to foster - a group of regulars!

Maybe I'll modify the original post to reflect this!

Jenn
Whoops, I meant if you are doing it in Vancouver to contact Charles Holmes.
Warmly,
Juanita
Hi Jenn, the Stammtisch notion sounds intriguing. I'd like to meet more practitioners of Cafe/Open Space. I do a monthly event known as "spore"events for the Evolver Network and have made use of various forms of dialogue technology/facilitation. We've explored along with 30 other cities that participate themes such as "Alternatives to Money, Food Security, Modern Shamanism, 2012, Building Networks and next month in December look at Alternative Energy:

Hoping to unite all the different groups with this regular monthly event. It's been good learning along with the other city regionals who each approach each event in their own manner with varying numbers of attendees.
Anyways, keep me apprised and if you wish to collaborate on any of the upcoming Evolver Spores let me know. Evolver Vancouver can also support other like minded approaches to building community dialogue.
