A Once In A Lifetime Conversation with the legendary Dr Edgar. S Cahn



“My greatest asset has been my ignorance, I went ahead and did what people said couldn’t be done” – Dr Edgar. S Cahn

We are ecstatic to announce our next Open Coffee Club Special event: Tuesday the 1st of September at 11am.

We have managed to secure Dr Edgar. S Cahn as our guest speaker, who is visiting New Zealand for the first time. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from an exceptional man, who has changed the vast ocean of the way we look at economy, one drop at a time.

Dr Edgar. S Cahn is a Law Professor, author, activist, and former counsel and speechwriter to Robert F. Kennedy.

Kind, sincere and compassionate, Edgar has dedicated his life to achieving social justice for the disenfranchised.

Eloquent, passionate and with a spontaneous sense of humour, Edgar is reknowned for inspiring audiences with a powerful vision of a compassionate and fair society.

He founded the revolutionary practice of Time Banking (or The Pay It Forward Initiative as is it commonly known). He is the CEO of TimeBanks USA, a nonprofit organization he established in 1995.

Dr Cahn is passionate about social entrepreneurship and the culture of reciprocity. His mind-set is nothing short of revolutionary. He has changed the lives of millions of people around the world.
