Embrace Community. Embrace the Forest | Café Conversation No. 6
It is so easy to make a mistake. A wrong perception about a person. A wrong perception about what a community's magic ingredient really is. A wrong perception about nature's long-term workings. Then we intervene, in all our smartness and good intentions.
Then we learn the real lessons, become sensitive to the all important subtleties and distinctions, become humble, and then wise. We find there is something natural, intimate, and trustworthy we can rely on instead.
My friend Wendy McCaig has published the first two posts of her Power Shift Revisited series. They are:
These real life stories are rich, honest, and revealing of truths we can contemplate in our own efforts to inhabit a more beautiful way of life.
We will rely on these pieces, and maybe a third, to prompt and guide our conversation. Oh, and extra bonus... Wendy will be joining us!
If you choose to join in too, it is best if you are able to take a little time with each of these pieces and take note of what strikes you. Perhaps something you once knew but forgot. Something confirmed. Perhaps an AHA! A turn of phrase. A beckoning or impulse. Bring these with you and we'll wander together in dialogue and weave something new.
If you aren't able to take the time to read or listen to these posts, that's okay too. There will be enough life in the room to welcome you in.
We'd love for you to join us,
Peter Pula, Host

Your Commitments
Remember, each gathering is highly participatory. It's important to start together. So, if you choose to join is we ask that you arrive in time for the beginning of each session you sign up for. It is far better to leave early than arrive late.
These gatherings feature small and whole group dialogue. We ask that you come prepared to share what is alive for you and be open to learning from others.
Unless you already have by some other means or channel, we ask that when you are ready to do so that you make a financial gift in an amount of your choosing, no matter how small, to support the curation, convening, design, and hosting that make these events possible. This cultivates a sense of shared ownership, commitment, and reciprocity.
Dialogue guidance will be offered at the beginning of each session.
Consider reading, The Path of Relational Presencing for more information about the dialogue experience.
A Special Note About AI Companions
For these events we ask that your AI companions are charged with the responsibility of remaining outside to "keep the car running". We'd like for people inside to feel free to speak their minds and from their hearts without our having to ask for, and contend with questions of, consent. We'd like to simply Be More Human in these spaces.
