How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I learned about the Art of Hosting through Margaret Wheatley's website and the Berkana Institute and participated in the first Australasian Art of Hosting Event near Melbourne in September 2008. I have been a systems thinker and therapist for many years and familiar with dialogue and circle methods. I am engaged in the Melbourne AoH Community of Practice and am an experienced practitioner.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: My primary focus has been community work and I am now starting to bring the AoH into working with schools, parents and teachers.

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?: My personal transformation from "FEELING important" in my career as a Clinical Psychologist to "BEING important as a mother made me aware of the lack of understanding and support our culture has for the perinatal period and the crucial role parents play for the future of their children and our planet. Hosting yourself and the children will always come first.
