Once a year Conversation Cafes and co-hosts organize a week when everyone, everywhere is invited to sit down in small groups to consider together the most important questions in the world today. We live in challenging and complex times. No one knows THE answer, but everyone holds a piece of the answer. You can say your piece during Conversation Week. We, and the world, will be all listening.
Please start your answer with your city and country.

This is not a question indigenous people asked themselves. the question itself comes from unnatural conditions generated by the expansive power of the fossil fuel era, money and global technologies which give us the power to transgress natural boundaries. so we have to consciously ask this question and consciously stop at “enough.”
We made a strong connection between peace (inner and outer) and this question, considering “what is enough” to be more a matter of attitude than real need or even want, at least in this culture. Cooperation and community were also themes raised by the question. It must be added that, as far as I can tell, these were the predominant belief and value systems of all the participants even before the conversation.

It is enough when you decide it is enough…..
