This group is for those interested in exploring & sharing our experiences hosting World Cafes in cyberspace and bringing its magic and connection into the online medium.
This is so cool. Ben! I love what you're doing with this medium... I'll join the conversation as I can - I'm going to be traveling for a few weeks and have a lot to do before leaving - but this is clearly an important conversation.
I just realized you may not know about a training I'm offering that is custom-made for people in this group. It's called Hosting in the Digital Realm - four two-hour sessions about "how to" host interactive, participatory online engagements using World Cafe as a archetypal pattern. So it's not about how to host World Cafe per se, but if you are already a World Cafe host, you'll learn how to translate what you know into the online medium.
Some of the focus of the course will be energy work - about getting your head and breath in the right place to host in an online environment; some of it will be about what connects us to each other and to our physical environments so we don't fall into the trap of abstraction and disconnection in this medium, some of it will be practical hands-on work with the best technology options for hosting World Cafe, and we'll also cover other logistical details it takes to do this kind of work.
The course is offered within an alternative economy model so there are options for any situation - so there is no reason to let money hold you back.
It would be great to see you there.
