We've had very successful experiences with less than ten people in a David Bohm-style dialogue situation. Any two people can have a Bohmian-style…"

Unfortunately I missed both meeting in Wienna and Prague last year.
Do You have...
Actually is there any web-site, where I could read some reports from those meetings.
Well, Since october I am full of different works, so I could hardly take over extras.
I hope I can finish a lots of things by the end of this month (February), and can contribute better to the cafe community site.
My first step is a report from last year.
ee....h, somewhere you will find it, perhaps under the HungarianGroup.
Best,
Szilars
