"Kelle,
Call David, who has done a lot of these smaller Cafes-- very easy really -- still tables of 4, same basic process but just more intimate! Call David at 415/663-1961 or on his cell (only if he is away from Tomales) at 415/250-8412.

How can the concepts of world cafe be adapted for small groups of 15 to 25?
I'm getting so many requests by Board of Directors from non-profits to do world cafe with their Boards and staff because of experiences they had at a large world cafe.They love the process, the energy that results, the excitement that is carried forward by the group, the connection they make to each other and the results, and the real results they see happening as the weeks went by after the world cafe they attended.I'd like to find a way to adapt world cafe to small groups of 15 to 25…See More

Follow up on "World Cafe comes to a very conservative non-profit organization in the U.S. South"
Thought I’d catch everyone up on the results of the Café we held in November of last year for the non-profit educational investment organization located in the conservative South where my husband Max and I live. The organization was experiencing a rapid drop in membership and educational seminar attendance.Max and I felt that a world café would be helpful in understanding what the members really wanted that they didn’t feel they were getting. Never had the organization considered just asking.…See More

When tables can't be found, what has been used as a good alternative?
We need 50+ tables for 4, and no budget to rent. We are borrowing what we can, but someone must have run into this before. What creative way has a lack of tables been handled? We are not able t use the floor, as most of the people attending are older and can't get up and down from the floor easily. We welcome any ideas or true life experiences you might have to share about this.Love this community!See More

I would be delighted to be your thinking partner on this exciting and challenging project. How about a phone call so that we can think out loud together? I'm traveling most of next week. Afternoons the week of 9/14 are looking good for me.
