Lumos World Cafe

Join us for Lumos World Cafe dialogues where each month we’ll explore questions and themes related to our individual and collective journeys of healing and getting free.

In this unique conversational format, we will explore an overarching topic through two un-facilitated conversational rounds. Each round focuses on a new question carefully crafted to build understanding incrementally. By rotating to a different small group for each round, there is an organic flow of insights and cross-pollination of perspectives.

Each Lumos World Cafe gathering will be hosted by a Lumos Facilitator who will welcome members, facilitate a connecting practice, manage the two breakout room rounds, and bring folks back together at the end to share back into the whole group as much or as little as they like.

October’s host: Nkem Ndefo

October’s questions: 

• Round 1: How does your activism impact you physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? Which impacts are sustaining? Which are draining?
• Round 2: What practices, attitudes, or beliefs have contributed to your sustainability in your activist journey? How do your feelings about rest influence the shape of your activism? What would you like to shift to better support your sustainability?

Come bring your ideas, experiences, curiosity, and wisdom as we co-create a gentle, connected space to expand our understanding, surface new perspectives, and accompany one another on our journeys. Don’t forget to bring your beverage and a snack – it is a cafe after all! Looking forward to seeing you there!
