Conversation Cafe

Do you feel like you hold lots of beliefs about things, but have no place to have a deep conversation? Do you enjoy dialogue that is open-minded, and that encourages acceptance, curiosity, discovery, and sincerity? Do you feel like a lot of life can feel shallow, and that it is rare to actually talk to other people about things that are of importance to you? Well then, Conversation Cafe is a good fit! Conversation Cafe is a place where there is no marketing, and where no committees are formed. We simply meet to talk about a topic, which is revealed the night of the Cafe. Here's how it works:

1. We assemble up to 8 people plus host.
2. Pass around a talking object, and each person speaks, no feedback or response.
3. Again with talking object, each person deepens their own comments.
4. Dialogue - open, spirited conversation. Use talking object if there is domination, contention, or lack of focus.
5. Final round - with talking object, each person says briefly what challenged, touched, or inspired them. 

This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow citizens in an open civic space to have important discussions that are safe, exciting, and relevant.
