If you are new to the World Cafe, would you please share how you heard about this community?
As the Artistic Director for the Quest for Global Healing Conferences, I was delighted to work with Juanita and David in Bali. We soon recognized there was great opportunity in merging this concept of arts as a strategy for awakening deeper conversations and resonances. I'm a big ally and fan of the World Cafe Community, and on the watch for new strategies and tactics that could intelligently engage ways for non linear techniques to be a part of the mosaic of conversations in the midst of this format.
What field is the primary focus of your World Café work (ONLY CHECK AREAS WHERE YOU ARE ALREADY ACTIVELY USING WORLD CAFE PLEASE)?
Health, Education, Religion, Online, Community
What knowledge, skills or resources would you like to contribute to the World Café community to help it grow and flourish?
The integration of the arts as a humanizing catalyst, the potential for music and other multi dimensional languages to integrate our hearts and spirits into linear discourse to deepen and change the conversation to be inclusive of our innate emotional and spiritual intelligences.
What would you most like to receive from this community?
Opportunities to contribute my expertise, consult, brainstorm on the power of the arts as this sort of catalyst.
Would you like to share a Web or Blog address?

What haven't we asked that you'd like to share?
That I recently hosted the Pegasus Conference in Seattle in October 2009, and it was a great, eye opening honor to serve in that capacity and see the essential contribution the World Cafe is playing in connecting the dots as we go through the most significant paradigm shift in the history of humanity.

Hi Gary,
Welcome to the World Cafe community. We are neighbors, I live in Greenbrae as well. I love coffee (literally) so I go to either Peet's in Bon Air or to Rulli's on Magnolia Ave. I have had the privilege to be part of the World Cafe since its early beginnings. It'd be great if we can connect and "talk a cup of coffee," as we would literally say in Mexico.
Best Regards,
Maria de los Angeles
Welcome, Gary! What fabulous responses to the profile questions...
When you get a chance, I'd love you to share some of this in the Introductions area so others get to know you as well. I think there's quite a lot of interest growing in this community about integrating the arts in the World Cafe experience, and you could be a real thought leader in that field.
If you appreciate the World Café and what this community space makes possible, please make your contribution - large or small - to the World Café Community Foundation now.

You're right! Your introduction doesn't look like it made it. Bummer! Did you click the "add replay" at the bottom to save your post?
