Facilitators: Ben Scott-Brandt and Erin McAuley

Topic: World Cafe: Connective Conversations on the Menu

This call will provide multiple opportunities to explore topics that are important to your center now. Choose your own adventure! Facilitated by Ben Scott-Brandt and Erin McAuley, we’ll begin by identifying a handful of topics that participants find most interesting, then offer multiple breakout rooms for smaller conversations on the topics that matter to you. 

Here are some pre-selected topics for our menu: 

• Equity and access: Accessibility plans, financial support and intercultural skills

• The best information technology, software and equipment for retreat centers

• Best practices for outreach and communication to younger audiences

• How does your center distribute program development responsibilities?

• Sustainable practices and products for climate justice at retreat centers

• How does long-term onsite community impact sustainability?

You’re invited to bring a topic of your own, and be prepared to jump topics throughout our call. We look forward to being in dialogue with you.
