Repeatedly, I have witnessed large groups build upon their diverse perspectives to experience substantial shifts in what they believe about their real purpose, potential and interdependence.\u00a0 Sometimes I try to imagine the amount of complexity, confrontation, pain, time and waste that is transcended, just because people intentionally practice seven simple but profound principles and take the time to determine the questions that will get them where they want to go. We are just beginning breakthroughs that translate the most\u00a0 acknowledged and finest practices (systems, groups and individuals) into practical behaviors that are greatly needed in our relationships, communities and the world-at-large.\u00a0 We must keep it going<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>~ Frances (Muryah) Baldwin, World Caf\u00e9 Community Foundation board member and President of consulting group <a title=\"Designed Wisdom\" href=\"http:\/\/designedwisdom.org\/\" target=\"_self\">Designed Wisdom<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Help us achieve our immediate goal of raising $25,000.00 by November 4, 2011<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theworldcafe.com\/fundraising.html\">Thank you to all of you who have already joined us in making this Harvest Fund Drive a great success<\/a>.
