cafe disruptif gatherings
Cafe Disruptif is just that. An informal gathering with food and drink...but with the addition of deliberately disruptive thought, via inviting clever and useful people and ideas, creating space for wide and feral discussion, asking all the questions we should have asked about ... um ... 20 years ago ... and the opportunity to find support and kindred spirits - people who feel we have big issues like the economy, the environment, and social justice, that we can tackle better. Just like in a normal cafe. But better.

to share what they love about their place too – then help engage them in protecting it…”
“Wildworks [theatre company] was very emotional – the whole day was fab –
I’m keen to write about this in a magazine – help spread the word!” (local journalist)
"...Super quick note to say what a fabulous day yesterday was. THANKYOU. I was moved to tears many times which I wasn't expecting at all. I think because It felt like the sessions really cut to the heart of the issue and that was really powerful. AND you held that energy and emotion so beautifully. Plus you got everyone there which is no small feat either.
Just fabulous.
So looking forward to many more like it. When I've digested my pages of notes I'm sure I'll be in touch.
Look forward to seeing you again soon. "
