What happens during America's Soul Café?
I was trained as a World Café facilitator and follow the World Café methodology. In our online monthly encounters, we use Zoom technology. After welcoming and introducing everyone, we explain the etiquette and netiquette that governs our meetings and provide a brief account of the philosophy and history of America's Soul Cafes. Then we break out into small groups--usually with three or four participants each. In this setting, participants take up the question or questions that have been prepared by the hosting team on America's soul and our role to become part of the Phoenix, the rebirth of America. When we come back to the full group, we share our experiences and insights and create an image or words that best expresses our understanding. Observers are welcome!
