Conversation Week 2009
How much is enough? Of anything? What difference would it make if we knew?
Consider this and other powerful questions during Conversation Week 2009 - the week every year when the world sits down to talk - and listen.
Pull up a chair somewhere. Invite others to sit down with you. Have a Conversation Cafe. Be part of this week when conversation circles around the world discuss the worlds most pressing questions - and share what they learn.
For this one week at least, we listen. For this one week at least we remember that no one person has THE answer, but together we can discover new possibilities. For this one week we practice the essence of Conversation Cafe method:
- speaking from the heart
- listening with respect
- seeking truth together
