All social change starts with a conversation.-- Meg Wheatley
Thirteen years ago, Utne (a locally printed magazine) incited their readers to start a revolution in their living rooms. In a special cover story on salons, they put out a call for people to get together and talk -- about politics, culture, education, the arts, whatever they were thinking and obsessing about. That call struck a chord. Over 8,000 readers responded and asked to be matched up with other Utne readers in their community. The neighborhood salons movement was born.
At its peak in 1995, their Neighborhood Salon Association had 25,000 members in some 600 groups meeting monthly across the continent and in several foreign countries. They eventually decided that the movement had become a force all its own and let go of our role in overseeing salons. Several Wilde Roast Cafe customers have expressed an interest in starting a SALON NIGHT this fall. Email me if you would like to be a member or lead the group. http://utne.com/
