<p>Since I called this group a bit over a year ago, it has become quite popular, and a great deal of questions and experience has been exchanged. Thank you for all these beautiful contributions! Now it is time to become a bit more concrete.

<p>Since I called this group a bit over a year ago, it has become quite popular, and a great deal of questions and experience has been exchanged. Thank you for all these beautiful contributions! Now it is time to become a bit more concrete. Personally I have made working with the subtle and invisible a learning journey over the last year, and it certainly has paid back, in hosting events and the rest of my life. I have met and worked with people who dedicated their lives to working with the subtle, the most renowned perhaps, being Marko Pogacnik who came to our Bregenzer Salon last year. Now we are planning a deepening training in the Art of Hosting and Harvesting conversations that matter in autumn, 1-3 November 2012, to which I will bring what I have learned. See for the invitation:<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653313281?profile=original" target="_self">AoH_herbst%202012_fin.pdf</a></p>
<p>One more conscious aspect of this training will be the art of sensing. Sensing space, sensing what place offers or calls for, sensing the energies of the day and time, using music to lighten up or deepen the moment, body work, but also and foremost, working with clear intention, and how that can guide and pull the forces of the subtle worlds together. In the end hosting work is working towards best possible co-creation of what is available in a given space at a given time. (The training is intended to be in German, however if English becomes a need we will expand to that need. And as sensing is anyway often happening in the world beyond words, we are more than ready to accommodate).</p>

<p>Her fascinating capacities lead a famous German publisher to ask her to write a book, so that her talents could benefit more people, and also suggested that she would start to give workshops. Well, the book is out, “Making the invisible visible”, "<a href="http://www.unsichtbares-sichtbar-machen.de/" target="_blank">Unsichtbares sichtbar machen</a>" . And as Petra got to know the Bregenzer Salon, she chose it as the space for her first workshop on 30 October 2012. So in case you want to combine the deepening of the art of hosting with learning from her precious experience and sensing, or just focus on that workshop, you are welcome to join us a day or two before the AoH Training, for a workshop and/or some personal coaching on October 31st in that field of making the invisible more invisible. On October 29 there will be an introductory lecture.

I would like to explore with you how elementals can help in hosted processes.<br />
<p> </p>
<p>This goes back to an experience we witnessed during a practice day in the EC last year.</p>
<p>My dear colleague and mate Helen Titchen has already referred to that special day in an <a href="http://iyeshe.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/natural-ways-of-working/" target="_blank">earlier blog post</a> on natural ways of working.</p>

<p>This goes back to an experience we witnessed during a practice day in the EC last year.</p>
<p>My dear colleague and mate Helen Titchen has already referred to that special day in an <a href="http://iyeshe.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/natural-ways-of-working/" target="_blank">earlier blog post</a> on natural ways of working.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So the idea of the campfire around which this day was organised, the topic on observing how nature does it, and how could we learn from her for our hosting work were one manifestation of something special occurring that day.</p>
And then I experienced a very concrete event later on:<br />
<p>It happened that in the morning I had a look in my garden for something organic I could bring to the group. It was the time of cherry blossom! This beautiful tree embraced me and led me to the idea of bringing a twig or two to our learning day.</p>
<p>I brought them in a vase, which found its space first before my feet in the circle while checking in, and later on the window sill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There was a particular moment in a conversation during an open space, where some energy sparks just shooted over in light speed from the window on the other side of the room, to the group of three we were engaging in, and it was as if the inspiring ideas that actually came out of the mouths of us in that truly magical moments, were connected to or supported by the energy coming from the branches. Intuitively I immediately knew that that was so. It is hard to say, if the conversation attracted the sparks or the other way round. I am saying sparks, as that is the best way I can name what I sensed, there was no visual perception, although almost, it was more of an energetic sensing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have more and more the feeling that we are helped by the subtle world, if the conditions are right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is why I want to start a conversation and see if you also had some of these intuitions or experiences and what were the circumstances around those.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to some interesting sharing!</p>
