AoH and Communities of Practice

Submitted by Ria Baeck on September 4, 2008 - 19:07.

Reading and studying about Communities of Practice I see that the web of Art of Hosting is developing step-by-step into the third stage (as named by Etienne Wenger - see attachmnet).

We have come from the Stage of Potential, where the initiators of this field saw that their passion was a worthy domain, and gave it its name. They could do that because they had found their mates - enough potential members to imagine a community. And together they began to understand what was the knowledge and the practices that were valuable to share and develop further.

Our steady attention...

Tagged with:

Our steady attention to what is moving us


in the luminous moments of co-inspiration


transforms the fleeting experience into continuous celebration


of the awakening of the collective learner


to its potential for higher intelligence and wisdom,


capable to hold more compassion and complexity.

Vicious circle to virtuous circle - collective development spiral

Tagged with:
Working with some colleagues the other day in an action learning session, we stumbled on a very powerful insight into why many organisations function the way they do and how that functioning can be released into something quite transformational.

The problem is the solution

Tagged with:

It is Sunday… but when living on the land it is a day like any other day.

Because Maria is still in Athens, where she is visiting her dad, we agreed to do some more ‘clearing’ this morning. Imagine a steep piece of land, full of brambles and wild trees and schrubs. It goes from the house down to the little streambed that is dry most of the time these days. Because last summer there were so many big fires in Greece, and it looks like it will be as dry this year, this piece of land needs to be cleared. In case of a fire nearby, it will stop at a certain distance of the house, to keep it safe.

Our food!

Tagged with:

Two messages today touched me very deeply.

First was a link in a message that was called: Food crisis out of control. One of the links was a kind of scientific report on the food crisis, its causes and the questions it raises around possible solutions. I found it a good article, although it is written from the perspective of the big organisations. It raises the question in the end about how it would be possible to hear the voices of the poor...

Next came an email from Toke Møller, who is hosting with a lot of his mates the Food and Society USA conference 2008. Below is what he wrote. For me it gives an answer to the questions raised in the article above.  read more »

Moving from my heart

Tagged with:
moving from my heart 
I enter the unknow

finding life each day...
as the scale grows organically
I respond as I can best
almost as a relunctant warrior for peace

but what have I got to loose
by giving of myself

letting go
to the hidden 
but subtle harmony 
within
