introducing myself...

Hey there,

i am Benjamin, very happy to work for and with The World Cafe in global communications.

You can find me online as a community gardener for our online space - welcoming new members, keeping an overview of what is happening and helping people to find good spots and threads to share their stories and reflections. I want to be there in service for this diverse online community to flourish and live into it's potential.
I like to explore ways to relate in a tangible way to the diverse collective that we are. What i can tell you also is that the average age of members is 44 years... so part of my mission will also be to attract young energy here ;)

A few words about me; my 24yr young life has had important milestones like living in an ecovillage community in my home country Germany, doing a deep ecology training with a vision quest, working in the Hub in Berlin in communications, studying a bit of Bioinformatics, travelling the US and since last September studying and playing at the KaosPilot school in Denmark. I love ecstatic dance and i love to see people connected to their source and shining bright in their unique beauty - what i stand for in my life at this point is to foster alive energy flows in all forms of expressions in myself and in others.
I am a very passionate and full-hearted networker and love to connect and conduct flows of information, motivation and inspiration. I resonate a lot with the field of collective intelligence and begin to birth my own contribution and energetic perceptions on movements an all layers of experience.

You are welcome to visit my Blog at benjaminaaron.wordpress.com and connect with me through all forms of social media channels :)

coheartedly,
Benjamin Aaron Degenhart

Hat perfekt geklappt!

Merci vielmals! :-)

Hallo Benjamin!

Danke für die Zusendung des neuen Newletters.
Habe mir die neuen Mitglieder angesehen und auch die neue Karte - leider scheinen auf dieser gar nicht alle Mitglieder aufgeführt zu sein. Ich fehle :'-(
Wie kann mein Standort (Ägypten) und der anderer Mitglieder in der Region angezeigt werden, damit es für uns einfacher wird, uns zu vernetzen?

Für Deine Hilfe bin ich Dir dankbar!
Mitternächtliche Grüße aus Kairo!

thanks Ben,
I have joined the group.

Another curiosity I have is around the graphic recording... Are there conversations on the site that discuss options for this?

Hello Benjamin, thanks for the welcome. CFG in a nutshell, stands for Critical Friends Group and involves facilitating and participating in groups of interested people working through problems, or ideas and concepts usually related, in our case, to teaching in particular and education in general. The groups follow specific protocols designed to facilitate discussion in a structured way that allows for all interested members to have their views aired and reflected on, and hopefully some positive outcome able to be attained at the end of the session.

Cheers

Dear Benjamin,

many thanks for the introductory words.
A friend of mine advised me to open a table session here in preparation
of a conference workshop in December. I am new here and would appreciate
any help in arranging this in a fast way, although I'll certainly have support
from our community. It would be nice to have other people involved in the sessions, but we are also interested in some confidentiality, i.e. to keep
out undesired fellows - opposite to the publicity in unrestricted communities
such as facebook. We have serious themes to discuss and chatting will be rather
an exception. How is privacy and security guaranteed in the World Cafe?

Kind regards,

Plamen

Dear Benjamin
In accordance with your request, one hour ago I have posted my introduction in conversation. Now I will request you to help with two more things: (1) what is member's map? While I entered into placemark I found member's map. (2) could you please place my introduction on the top in my page as yours one appears in your page.

Now I would be happy to recall my memory that I requested you to let me know the mission statement of The World Cafe Community because I will very shortly write about Fusion Styles in Organizational Development with some more questions which I will send for 2nd European Salon – Dialogue and leadership for a new face of community. Just the mission statement nothing descriptive at all.

Thanks and with very best of regards

sincerely and honestly yours

tarit

Benjamin, I am very much glad to become the member of the community. I will be very much happy to get you as my friend and I have already sent you my request for friendship with you. According to your suggestion I was very glad to add my friend Simone. I will also be very happy to comply with your request to write introduction and placement but please give me some time. At this moment I am to some extent busy with preparing a paper on the application of ICT in Business and Industry for online consultation related to Digital Bangladesh of the present Government. My friend Simone is aware of my initiave. I hope to come back in the beginning of next week. With many and many thanks and best regards, tarit

I'll start by saying the information I needed so sorely was only needed by me because I have an over-active imagination ; ) I came here hoping to take part in some collaborative group work (immediately because I'm so impatient!) and imagined there…

Oren, Could you help me think about where to place this "sorely needed" information (and how to best word it) so it reaches the people it needs to? Your viewpoint is much appreciated. Amy

Hi Benjamin, I am really interested in the use of "mirrors... to enable the community to see itself" and I'm still trying to get my head around it. Maybe when I wanted to snap off some answers to simple questions I just wanted a prompt or somethin…

Dear Oren, I love that you're responding to this! And your "beginners mind" is very useful in reflecting back to us what we can't necessarily see as clearly at this point as you can. Your comment about not knowing that World Cafes are generally a "…

Hi Benjamin, Interesting questions. As a new member I thought my experience so far may be useful. The unfortunate side-effect is that it highlights that I can be a little slow on the uptake. Never mind. The tag-cloud is a great way to go consider…

A place to share ideas, experiences & experiments in combining the creative arts with World Cafe. How can we use the arts with participatory processes to give greater access to the full range of human meaning & expression?

Hey Ria, Nice to hear your thoughts. And I agree - Benjamin's insights are applicable to many communities like ours in the World Cafe, Art of Hosting. etc. Interestingly, though, I actually do see us as a circle, which is "only" a metaphor but we al…

Inspiring questions Benjamin, that would also apply to the Art of Hosting community, and many more I suppose... although I can't offer you answers... ... Enabling the circle to see it's own brilliance and potential... First of all, it is not really…
