Profile Information

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: Walk Out/Walk On was required reading during my graduate studies. I learned about hosting through that book and the videos that accompany it.

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): Having not been formally trained, I would say new. However, this method resonated with me deeply, and mirrored practices that I had used for years. From the beginning, it seemed like a good fit.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: I work with people who have developmental disabilities. There are all sorts of challenges in our work, especially with regards to funding, individual needs, and systems and cultural change.
