The Art of Communicating

The Art of Connecting
An Art of Hosting practitioners gathering,
Saturday December 6 2014 in London

The Mulberry Room, The Gallery Cafe, 21 Old Ford Road, Bethnal Green, London E2 9PL

10/10.30am-4/4.30pm (flexible start and finish to allow for travelling time)


The busy-ness of our world and lives can appear to be a barrier to connecting with one another, but the desire and wish to connect seems to be growing stronger and gathering momentum.
How do we stay open to this energy and nurture its presence in all our connections, our lives and in our work?

We are opening a space for people who practice the arts of hosting, those who wish to and those who are curious. A space for connection, for conversation, for people to tune in and to be curious together about what can unfold and emerge.

For those of you who are still new to Art of Hosting it will be an opportunity to experience some of the tools of the trade; Circle, Open Space, World Café.

A day to meet and smile together. A day to connect. A day to be.

What are you ready for ?
What might we be ready for together?
If we are part of a movement, what’s moving ?
What do our children need us to be doing to steward the world they are inheriting from us ?

This will be a one day event, one of an occasional series of UK Art of Hosting gatherings.
Your hosting team is Dave Ridge, Jennifer Jones, Paul Smart and Lesley Wood.

Refreshments will be provided but please bring food for a shared lunch. Vegetarian and vegan meals and snacks are available all day at the Gallery Cafe. We will ask that participants share the cost of the venue and expenses. Costs will be worked out on the day and will depend on numbers attending.
