When you think about it, the association between World Cafe and nature-connection is obvious and present, given that WC is designed with a "whole-systems" structure, but thank you for making the connections explicit here.
I'm very interested in exploring how World Cafe conversations might be used to increase awareness and support more nature-connected and nature-loving engagement.
And I'm also excited to meet others in the World Cafe community who share these interests and passions. Thanks again for starting the group. Do you have any particular vision or thoughts about how it might evolve?

Comment by Luis Fernando Gómez G. on September 3, 2011 at 7:22am Dear Friends:
Bernardo Toro (colombiano) speaks of the new ethics represented in a new paradigm of CARE. Knowing self-care, care each other and care for the planet. Moving from the war intelligence to the solidarity intelligence of knowing asking for help and knowing how to offer it. Knowing building friendship circles to care for the near (family and friends), the distant (organizations, institutions) and the foreign (public goods).
If we care each other, grandparents, parents, children, siblings, friends, couples, besides ourselves, the world would be different, the planet would be with us with no term. The key word in these years and coming is CARE.
