    Hi Benjamin,

    Thank you, I look forward to exploring the Art of Hosting! I would like to incorporate an AOH workshop into an international retreat I lead for young people every summer in France. Can't find any info on the website about how to invite someone form AOH to teach. Can you point me in the right direction?

    Warmly,

  • Narjara Thamiz Ribeiro

    Hey Benjamin, thank you for the warm welcome to this Community. I took me a while to answer, but am glad to be here. :) I know Maíra Rahme, she was in an AoH that I was part of the hosting team in 2010. I think she is now living in Rio de Janeiro, but has been a while since I spoke to her last. Hope everything is well for you. If you need anything that I can help, let me know. :) 

  • Narjara Thamiz Ribeiro

    Hey, It took me a while to connect back, there is so much going on online that sometimes is overwhelming for me, sorry! To bad you are not so active in the community anymore. How is the new job, studies, direction?

    Well, since then so much has happened... I got married, had a 5 months sabbatical journey through Africa, Middle East and India and now am back in Brazil, moving from my home town to a different state northeast, a beautiful place on the coast. I'm still working with consultancy in collaborative processes, social and organizational innovation at Cocriar and doing AoH trainings in Brazil. 

    Now, something new expects me where I am moving to. I'll dedicate myself for a more social work. Let you know when I know better. :) Nice talking to you. Let's keep in touch.

  • Juan Carlos

    All the best, 
    Juan Carlos :)
