Leading Through Circle And Story at Hotel Utrip, Prvine, Slovenia

July 4, 2013 at 6pm to July 7, 2013 at 5pm
Before there were rows of people there were circles of people who sat around a fire and spoke so that every voice contributed to decisions and actions.Before there was data and huge quantities of information, people learned what they needed through story and listened for the common thread that could unite them.When groups of people in the modern world sit down together in a circle and share stories relevant to why they are together, they discover the strength in their past to map a sustainable…See More

"Hi there,   Jasenka and I are starting early from Zagreb (on Saturday), and plan to arrive in Budapest between 10.00 and 10.30 - so the entire group could start working together at 10.30.   Marjeta"

Marjeta Novak commented on Agota Eva Ruzsa's group 'AoH in Central and Eastern Europe'
"It's decided: Jasenka and I come together by car, and leave early on Sunday morning. We need some simple accommodation - like hostel or similar (I'll contact you, Agota, separately on this). WHEN do we start on Saturday??? WHERE…"

Marjeta Novak commented on Agota Eva Ruzsa's group 'AoH in Central and Eastern Europe'
"Hi, If Jasenka plans to go by car, we could perhaps join forces: I could come to Zagreb, for example. In this case, I'd go back same time as Jasenka (probably wouldn't need accommodation). Train connections take anything from 9 to 15 hrs…"

Profile Information

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?
I learned about AoH through Castle Borl movement (Miha Pogacnik's inspiring network) here in Slovenia. I even heard that the basic AoH idea was conceived at Castle Borl - not far from where my family (and my own conception!) come from :-).
Tell us about your experience with Art of Hosting as part of your life and work. What would you say your competence in it is? (new, starting practitioner, experienced practitioner, steward)
I come from the fields of training (intercultural collaboration) and facilitation - and I see myself more and more as a host. I have quite some experience in designing large-group conversations, using a variety of approaches - incl. Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, World Café, Bohmian Dialogue, Nonviolent Communication. I co-lead a Dialogue Practice Group in Slovenia (meeting monthly), and an international Dialogue Exploration Group (meeting once or twice a year for a prolonged weekend).
What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?
Some patterns that I can discern: large-group events; circles; appreciative approaches; self-empathy as foundation for compassion.
Where do you live/work?
I live at the center of Slovenia (Ljubljana); I work internationally.
Would you like to share a web address?
http://www.humus.si
Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?
My recent passion is compassion: how to invite more of it into our interactions (starting with enhancing my own self-empathy and compassion).
