Intentions of the Art of Hosting training (Why do we do this?)

What is it we would like to become?


What might we create such that our lives and the lives of the communities we serve would be better?


This is about noticing what is emerging and being brave enough to name it.

 

 

To co-create an experience of hosting

  • To gain understanding and experience of hosting, so you can go home and begin to practice.
  • To learn to take the leadership of good conversations.

To Give Focus to Multiple Levels – A Common Art of Hosting

The Art of Hosting is offered with a clear architecture. Often this includes focus on the three levels below, an awareness that learning at each of these levels informs learning at the other levels. We will be working on these three levels, not as a linear path, but rather as characteristics of work.

•    Individual
o    To continue to connect to our passion for taking this journey
o    To strengthen individual courage to lead as hosts

•    Team
o    To train on the competencies of collective reflection and wise action
o    To practice co-creating, co-deciding and co-hosting in order to host strategic meetings, focus groups, community conversations, etc.

•    Community
o    To experience working in unity with other leaders
o    To experience new organizational forms and work of co-creating relationships that serve the deeper needs and patterns in our world
