The conference theme was "The Green Challenge: Environmental Sustainability and the Challenges for Canada".

With excitement I share with you all that I will be hosting a World Cafe for a group of 75-100 educators from across British Columbia, Canada this October.

Please share your stories with me about hosting your first large event - I would love the inspiration!

How lovely to get your note. Yes, I'll be in Vancouver....at the C4C and other events related to the Dalai Lama's visit. My partner David, also co-founder of the World Cafe will also be there with a bit more flexibility since he is not in all the sessions....might you and he arrange to meet if the schedule is too tight for you and I? Are you going to any of the Dalai Lama events?
Warmest regards,
Juanita
