"I love how encouraging and easy-going the conversations on this site have been for me so far.
I have one remark regarding location - I see people asking one another where they are located in almost every conversation I read.
We can see where…"
"Wow, John,
you really made concrete what I ask myself when I consider hosting a cafe, and made it accomplishable without a 'buddy' - I feel much more likely to have a WC without depending on experiencing one first. I know your note was…"
"Sorry for the lon waiting time - I'm so happy I just learned how I can see all of my ning memberships at once without logging on in 7 places! I just go to ning.com and log on there, and I can see all of my ning activities! Now...
I am in…"
"I'm in the same position. I've been telling myself I can attend one first, and since then I've been finding ones going on locally, just lining up my schedule. Thanks for sharing: your voicing what part f me is feeling made me less…"

Participant
In what field is the primary focus of your World Café work?
Community
What would you most like to receive from this community?
I'd like to build my confidence that I can host World Cafe gatherings (and other gatherings) in my neighborhood in an affordable way that rewards all involved in a way that's sustainable and focused, inclusive, effective, and builds a thriving, self-aware community.
What is your highest aspiration using World Cafe or any other tool?
Peace on Earth - everyone relaxing into their local community and their communities of friends outside of that. I envision everyone knowing their neighbors, knowing people who they share interests with and knowing that the vision that each of these groups have for themselves and the world is peace and trust... And since we all are either neighbors or share interests with people who are similarly connected to exponentially more people, we're 3-6 degrees removed from trusting everyone and having no more war if world-cafe or other tools are applied to the way we meet at large common interests gatherings and annual neighborhood parties.
Another angle:
Human Permaculture. To cultivate neighborhood blocks' conscious personal relationship-building amongst themselves, and to build our neighborhood's awareness of our shared vision and shared destiny.
I'm also thinking of other communities that I know and love, but neighborhoods are most important to me - to create a human culture much like Permaculture.
