I’m embarrassed to say I don’t remember where I found this evocative image or which talented graphic harvester to attribute it to (if you recognize it, please add a comment or send me a note), but I love the visual pun of a “Café Machine” offering instant Café!
This video of Juanita Brown talking about the “magic” that can happen in dialogic processes like the World Café when we are able to cross-pollinate ideas and access the collective intelligence between us, is one of a series by documentary videographer Martin Rausch.
Juanita’s interview is part of a film Martin is currently working on called The Blindspot – Unleashing the Power of Collective Intelligence.
I love how the World Cafe Community is deliberate about marking these 20 years of practice with intentional sharing and harvesting. And in the name of impact, doing good collectively, and weaving a collective intelligence across the global community of practitioners.
The World Cafe continues to change who we are and how we are together, evolving the edges of collective potential, and awakening a shared heart.
Please join us in celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the World Café.

We often refer to our beloved Anne Dosher as the “Guardian of the Soul of the World Café”.
Anne, who is now in her 90s, doesn’t travel as much as she once did and we don’t get to see her as often as we’d like these days.
But her spirit is always with us, and never more so than now when we’re about to embark on Impact Cafés all over the world to help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of World Café.
Anne’s story of how she came to her life’s work, and what compels her to “talk it through” whenever there are difficulties and challenges, is one that she wrote for this blog back in 2007.
Every time I hear it, I gain new insight and awareness about the depth and power of this work we’re all engaged in. So it’s with gratitude for Anne, her guidance, and wisdom, and love, that I share it with you all here on this special day in the life of the World Café: Talking it Through.
