The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations That Matter
How to host and lead oneself and others in times of growing chaos and possibility? In this module, we will offer the Art of Hosting, Practising for Life, and Flow Game as a spiral approach to learning on many levels.
The Art of Hosting is a highly effective way of harnessing the collective wisdom and self- organizing capacity of groups of any size. This approach uses a variety of powerful conversational processes deeply rooted in the needs of the world, guided by shared work and purpose. The Art of Hosting is an experiential training and leadership practicum to deepen one’s capacity to affect transformation in oneself and in a complex world. This work takes into account the whole process – all the preparations necessary to bring people together for shared work, what happens while they are working together, and how the results of their conversation support next steps that are aligned to their purpose and context.
