Friends:
I would love to see us experiment with a series of "kitchen table occupations," using OC as a way to link them together into one large and powerful dialogue. We will have a nice juicy context in which to explore this coming up soon, as we launch a process designed to explore the human that is now mostly latent/dormant in the OC network. Having gotten a sense of the resources and energy available to us, we will then invite people to collaboratively design initiatives and processes that might have a powerful input into the evolution of the movement and on the ability of this space to serve it.
So how might kitchen table groups fit into this, and does anyone have a desire to help organize such a thing? Our intitial phase will involve interviews, so I'm imagining people who were excited by the process of being interviewed then being invited to host small gatherings themselves and thereby expand the circle of interviewees. Then that group is invited to continue meeting regularly over the course of the collaborative visioning and design phases of the process as well (this will run through February and perhaps into March).
Sometimes the kitchen table groups might work on their own, sometimes they might join a Cafe Call individually as representatives of their group, and sometimes the whole group might join a call together.
Anyone else excited by this idea? Anyone even paying attention to this group any more?!
