To WC listserve and DF listserve
Over the last ten years there has been one conference I always go to. It's the NCDD … National Conference on Dialogue and Deliberation. It's a great gathering of people who are excited about "dialogic" thinking and how this might enhance democracy. I encourage you to come if you can. Here is the page for signing up (with a discount):

This year it's being held in Seattle, my home city. However, I will not be attending. Instead, I'll be supporting many of the exciting developments in Europe.
Oct 2-4 Seminar in Budapest, "Dynamic Facilitation and the Wisdom Council." This is being organized by Monika Raffelsberger who attended our seminar last year in Vienna. Thank you, Monika.
Oct 8-10 International conference in Vienna "How should we grow?". Rita Trattnigg is one of the organizers and a strong advocate for DF and the WC. Several of the sessions will be dynamically facilitated and the conference will be preceded with the first national WC in Austria. I'll be speaking on the last day about how to come together in joint action. (

Oct 16-18 Seminar in Vorarlberg, "Dynamic Facilitation and the Wisdom Council." Martin Bentele is the organizer for this seminar and is a long time supporter of DF/WC. Thank you, Martin.
Oct 22-24 Seminar in London, "Dynamic Facilitation and the Wisdom Council." Andrea Gewessler is the organizer. She organized and attended an exciting DF/WC seminar in London last March. Thank you, Andrea.
There are openings in all three of the seminars we have scheduled. There are tentative plans for a DF/WC seminar in the California Bay Area in late November. Contact us if you would like a seminar in your area.
