How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I had been using circle, Open Space, and World Cafe for some years in my work with community development in Latin America and urban engagement in Halifax. I was introduced to family of AoH practices in 2008 and got more involved when I had the opportunity to participate in part of Authentic Leadership in Action in 2009. In February 2010, I helped organise an AoH for youth social entrepreneurs across Europe in Karlskrona. I am attracted to it because of the depth of practice, the learning community that is emerging and growing, and the experience of using processes for personal and collective meaning and transformation. I am inspired by the huge potential for inner and outer/ local to global deepening, synergising, and catalyzing the great transition.

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?
