Some people are asking who is a Steward? Because we are no organisation, but a self-organising web of practitioners, nobody will decide - but yourself! On the Art of Hosting website you can read about what makes someone a Steward. If you step up to this task, then you are one too!

Six weeks after AoH in Belgium

After six weeks of joy and silence, I'm back again.
