Hello Gaia!
I'm sure you all know that this week is Conversation Week. Extraordinary people (like you) all over the globe will be coming together to talk about the Top Ten Questions facing the world today, as voted on by participants.
You may have already read about it on our previous Team blog entry. So you know that we're working with Conversation Cafe to inspire meaningful face-to-face discussions about everything from sustainability to economics to the violence in our world. These kinds of conversations build community, expand our horizons, and open the way for new cultural and societal possibilities. These conversations make change possible.
If your are interested in participating check out the listing of events on the Conversation Cafe site and in our Gaia Gathering pod. If you don't find one in your area, don't worry...
It's not too late to participate! You can still talk about these key issues with Gaia members. You can still reach out to a member in your area and go for coffee. Even a small conversation can change the world. You never know what might happen :)
You can also join in with Gaia online! We're featuring the Top Ten Questions in our Questions & Reflections all week. Stop on by, post your response and share your thoughts with others.
Here's a sneak peak of conversations already being planned by Gaia members:
- Boulder, CO: Weds. 3/26, Contact Mark
- Los Angeles, CA: Friday 3/28, Contact (me) Jessica
- Montreal, Canada: Contact Nicole
- Pune, India: Contact Raj
- Seattle, WA: in April (they're doing their way ;), Contact Michele
- Toronto, Canada: Contact Nicole
- Whidbey Island, WA (near Greenbank): Sat. 3/29, Contact Juli
- On the Radio: Christine has dedicated her radio show to Conversation week!
Oregon had theirs early, but you can read about their amazing experience here. Feel free to contact Amber if you interested in connecting in the future.
Don't forget to let us know how it goes! Blog about your Conversations and tag them with "Conversation Week" and "Gaia Gathering." Please contact me at jessica [at] gaia [dot] com if you need coaching or help.
