How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I've been a practitioner for many years already. My first contact happened in Brazil in 2006.

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 remember thinking "I am home" when I first took my training. The way we met, the people, the methodologies, it all spoke to me deeply. And since then it has become my way of living and my work.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: In the heart of my work in the world is my will to create spaces for people to be creative and spontaneous, to engage with one another, to manifest their full potential and to see beauty and possibilities in what’s around us. For the past three years I’ve been hosting group processes for different communities, social organizations and companies around the world, using deep-dialogue, participatory, co-creative and artistic approaches.

Where do you live/work?: Parts of the year based in Netherlands, working in the world.
