Perhaps most significantly, your contributions will allow us to bring in a\u00a0dedicated Community Weaver\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>whose presence in our community will make all kinds of wonderful things possible.<\/p>\n

The Community Table is constantly growing and new benefits will continue to emerge and evolve with us, but h<\/em>ere is what else a subscription to the Community Table currently offers:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Enhanced World Cafe Learning Programs
<\/strong>Paid public programs made available to Community Table subscribers at a 30% discount\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After two decades of development and global applications across multiple languages, cultures, and contexts, the World Cafe is extending our Signature Learning Programs by adding complementary, focused modules to:<\/span><\/p>\n

Strengthen and deepen the integration and application of core elements of World Cafe practice<\/span><\/p>\n

Partnerships<\/b>
<\/b>\"\"<\/a>As part of our emerging new vision, we want to strengthen our relationships with others in the Central Garden, and partner with them in practical and meaningful ways. One such way is by collaborating with others who are offering learning programs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The World Cafe is working with a select group of partners who have developed important relevant learning programs, making their programming available to Community Table subscribers at the same 30% discount offered on our own programs. The cross-fertilization of new knowledge available through these partner learning programs will enhance and deepen mutual understanding and help cultivate and nourish the soil for collaboration in the Central Garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One such partner is\u00a0<\/span>Beehive Productions<\/a><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Beehive is already producing programs for the Central Garden of participatory practitioners, and by partnering with them the Community Table will have access to their excellent programming at a significant discount.<\/span><\/p>\n
