The Cafe Space

Awakening and engaging collective intelligence through conversations
about questions that matter

Starting in 2007, we have been running conversation spaces in our local Starbucks, structured around the process of The World Cafe, and centred on question around how best to live within our community and serve one anothers dreams.

What is The World Cafe? Well, as a conversational process, the World Café is an innovative yet simple methodology for hosting conversations about questions that matter. These conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, cross-pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions or issues that are most important in their life, work, or community. As a process, the World Café can evoke and make visible the collective intelligence of any group, thus increasing people’s capacity for effective action in pursuit of common aims.

As a living network pattern, the World Café refers to a living network of conversations that is continually co-evolving as we explore questions that matter with our family, friends, colleagues, and community. The metaphor of the "World as Café" helps us notice these invisible webs of dialogue and personal relationships that enable us to learn, create shared purpose, and shape life-affirming futures together.
