How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?

Participated in Art of Hosting conference in March 2009 and truly enjoyed and appreciated the spirit, energy, sharing and community. I had been previously introduced to Art of Hosting approaches such as World Cafe and been a part of a community that used World Cafe to create space for dialogue and sharing at a conference in October 2007.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?

I appreciate learning about and trying new approaches that help to create safe space for different communitites to do the difficult and challenging work they need to do to restore, rebuild and reconcile in a way that honors their values, needs and responsibilities.

Where do you live/work?

Chicago, IL

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?

I am happy to share anything I have learned working with families, communities and organizations related to conflict resolution, mediaiton, restorative processes and reconciliation.
