Hello Art of Hosting friends!

Together with Rowan I am your Art of Hosting Community Coordinator and Host!
You may have received an invitation to join this online community and maybe a note of welcome from me; or somebody else who invited you. This is a self-directing and self-organising community and there will be many others who are also caring for this online space. Maybe you?
If you need anything, or have any questions, if you are being disturbed by anyone here or notice something we should be aware of, please contact Rowan or myself (you can leave a comment here or send me an email). Thanks!

I hope you enjoy yourself here and share and learn a lot!

Profile Information

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?
I did my first Art of Hosting training in The Netherlands in 2005, and called and organised the first one in Belgium in 2006; followed by a next one in 2008. There was an immediate feeling, that this was what I had to do and connect with.
Since 2009 we are building a Community of Practice in Vlaanderen/Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. We did an AoH Training, but are now experimenting with Open Learning Days around a specific theme (Participation, Transition), which are quite succesful.
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)
The art of hosting conversations runs through my whole life; and is everywhere present in the work that I do - which has many faces. I'm one of the Stewards of this AoH network, and I'm fascinated by what is the energetic of what we do - what are we doing when we are holding space? This evolved into a circle of stewards which are holding the energetic core of the network; still very new and fresh in this network.
What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?
I have three fields of passion: supporting the AoH work in Belgium/Flanders; hosting the whole of the network and its knowledge; and connecting research and building research capacity within the network.
Where do you live/work?
I live in Belgium and work wherever I am called.
Would you like to share a web address?
http://www.vitis-tct.be
Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?
I'm interested and fascinated by everything that is 'on the edge', but always in an embodied way. This has initiated Women Moving the Edge, out of which slowly is a book emerging...

The Art of Weaving

I came across a nice blog post on the Art of Weaving; really worthwhile reading!

Here is one of the first paragraphs:

"Weaving, the principal leadership practice in Network Organizing, is an intentional practice of helping people connect to information, opportunity, each other and, most importantly, their own personal power. Weavers do this by opening new…

Looks great! Here is the PDF... please feel free to email it out to the listserv (I would love to let Chris tell the broader community about the CoP; it has been close to his heart for much longer than me).

Hello Ria,

I had to clean my blog.

That's why I deleted an article talking about Pro Action Café.

But if you want, I can send it to you.

I Still have this article on my blog : http://blog.beesent.com/2011/06/seminaire-art-of-hosting-presentation-generale/.

Thank you for the feedback. It makes perfect sense, but somehow the layout of the text gets messed up when I put it into the frame and I don't get it into a proper shape (neither when copying my word-file nor when copying from the pdf). Giving up for today...

Hey Ria,  Many thanks!  There's definitely seems to be a growing interest for AoH in the region. I think the concepts are a breath of fresh air. So many people seemed to be dissatisfied with the current command and control approach used by stakeholders and policy makers here.  At the moment I am looking for others who are interested in hosting / attending / participating in a "world-cafe" event in Sarajevo on sustainable community initiatives.  I'm also doing some prepatory work for an event in Lebanon as well.  It's going to be a bumpy ride... ;-)

Agape,

Hi Ria,

Thanks, I hear the invitation to share my learnings during this year - and this invitation has come from many friends and mates recently, not least at a dinner conversation with Ann, Christina and Helen two weeks ago. It is one of my learning edges. I haven't been a writer at all until now in my life, so once I am out of this busy transition phase and "en route" I will sense into this topic and see what wants to emerge ...

Love from Vienna,

 

Martin
