Vital ConversationsExpand the conversation from the regular Monday Cafe Call, featuring one or more "conversation starters." Post thoughts in advance to seed our dialogue, then harvest your reflections and continue the conversation once the call has ended. These threads start out in the "Current Cafe Calls" category and are then moved here a few days after the call. |
