AoH India

We aim to provide a forum for anyone interested in working with Art-of-Hosting-style techniques in India and culturally related regions.

We are a loose group of practitioners interested supporting AoH in India. You don't need to be Indian nor live in India to join.

    I know Steve Ryman has been doing some AoH related stuff in India. I will invite him to this forum!

    Hi Carlos.  Welcome to this group and for bringing some new energy to the conversation.  I spent three months in India with the intention of exploring what wants to happen there and of seeding the field for Art of Hosting.  I discovered a lot of interest and many collaborative/participatory practitioners, most of whom are working in relative isolation, some of whom are familiar with AoH and others who are quite interested in learning.  I sense that there are seeds germinating in various places in India and I am continuing to wait for a clear call.  

    I will likely be back in India in September, perhaps for a few months to tend the field and to hopefully connect some of the practitioners and to work with what wants to emerge.  One of the biggest learnings for me in India is the importance of patience and trusting the emergent process.  Continually, I was reminded that I need to wait for an invitation to let go of my arrogant belief that I have something that "they" need.  

    I would love to connect with you, either by email or Skype and to explore possibilities for the time we will be in India.

    with gratitude,

    Steve

    Thank you Mary, Ria and Steve. 

    This is indeed very exciting. I have not spent that much time in India yet, but I resonate with your words an reflections Steve. 

    I will get in touch with you to make sure we have our "perceptions" tuned to listen to any invitations sent by this fascinating country. 

    Thanks again.
