Profile Information

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I am still learning about it! Natalia Guerscovich introduced me to Art of Hosting. A group who holds in its name two of the most signifcant words for me - art and hosting - has a lot to offer and to share. We need art in this world and, above all, we need to host each other in our hearts.

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 don't have right now any experience with Art of Hosting. I think life has helped me to learn how to host, mostly I use my heart and empathy, because I believe we should love what we do and host, not only in the concept of "having someone in our homes", but more in the sense of brotherhood. Afterall, we live in the same "home", don't we?

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: People development. Actually, I'd rather say, people selfawareness. I have been studying Coaching, Creative Writing and Anthroposophy in order to improve myself so I can be a better Coach, Biographical Counselor and Intercultural Trainer. And, who knows, in the future be also a writer.

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?: Writing and reading (I am a passionate reader and books suggestions are very welcome!), cooking for family and friends, pets (I have a cat, Lolla, and a dog, Matuto), my kids (Camilla and Tiago), volunteer work and my new hobbie is to grow crops, especially Brazilian native plants who are in danger of extinction.
