Greetings!
America's Soul Cafe draws on a dream I had while I was in in New York City on 9/11/01 where a Phoenix, America's Soul, rose out of the ashes of ground zero inviting Americans to a spiritual renaissance. Phoenix gave me a new way to look at 9/11. My new book,
My Soul's Journey to Redefine Leadership: A New Phoenix Rises from the Ashes of 9/11,
chronicles why I now work in the
United States rather than the United Nations and is my offering how one soul can make a difference now.
I believe a spiritual renaissance happens one soul at a time. America's Soul Cafe is one way to begin. The next monthly America's Soul Cafes are on Saturday, April 8, from 11AM-1PM Eastern US time. To determine your time zone, please use http://www.worldtimezone.com .
America's Soul Cafe and the World Café embodies discovery tools that helps a large group understand a set of issues at their own pace. It
'
s great for helping people reach a state of common understanding and alignment.
Non-participating observers are always welcome!
Please RSVP to [email protected] by the day before.
Although latecomers are welcome, please register a day prior to the event!
Lisa Stiller was at our inaugural Cafe. She wrote us:
"This was an amazing experience! I felt so connected to everyone so quickly!
There was a very deep level of safety and trust built in at the start. The questions and discussion were open enough to allow for wide interpretation, and there was such genuine affirmation for our contributions.Also the teaching component and resources provided were extremely helpful... Thank you to all of you. Looking forward to the next one!!
America's Soul Cafes are co-hosted by volunteers
Gene Bellinger, Elva Castaneda de Hall, Robert Kauffman, Jamie Talbott, Mary Waggoner-Moritz and myself
to bring
together
people around the world for America's Soul. Mary and I were trained at the Fielding Graduate Institute in Fundamentals of World Cafe.
The World Cafe and America's Soul Cafe, a natural and effective way to host meaningful conversations that awaken collective wisdom and engage collaborative action, are effective antidotes to the fast-paced fragmentation and lack of connection in today's world. The cafes are based on the understanding that conversation is the core process that drives personal, business, and organizational life.
