What if hosting each other is the way of everyone to be in learning?

Let's inquiry into the question in the title!

Hosting ourselves well

Brenda,

This is the question I love.  As hosts, as we shift past our own barriers we have greater capability to bring hosting into more and more environments – including hierarchical ones.  It is our own hesitation that stops us most often.  When we host ourselves well and when we see the AoH as an operating system that has the potential to shift culture – in organizations, in communities, in families – this is when we can shine the light on other barriers.  We also need to move past the barrier of fear – fear of being vulnerable and fear of going into depths most of us have yet to really experience.  The more I confront my own fear, the more ready I am to be a peaceful warrior – with AoH as my arsenal…

Hosting gives space and energy

Hello all,
 
The deep question I feel has been under all my life path and that I am now stating explicitly is "How do we find/see the barriers that exist in us that do not allow us to shift to more inspiring, sustainable ways of being? And once we witness these barriers - how can we support each other in removing, knocking down, climbing over those barriers?"
 
The Art of Hosting has given me space, tools, an approach that puts what matters in the centre in a way that we can talk about what is real and matters with respect, safety, trust... and we can find deep, meaningful steps that are possible to take.  Rather than seeing the barrier more clearly and feeling more overwhelmed and frozen, hosting gives the space and energy that allows us to face the barriers and walk through.
 
Looking forward,
Brenda
