How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?
I heard about it the first time on a summer camp in the ecovillage 7Linden in Germany in 2007 (i think?). I participated in four trainings, co-organized one of them and hosted my first one as an apprentice at YIP in Sweden.
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 am an somewhat of an experienced practitioner. for me the social and energetic field around the methods is the most interesting part. respecting the methodologies and striving for the imagination, dream space and process design...
What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?
Thank you so much for your welcome. I will upload a picture soon and maybe even expand on my responses. i'm looking forward to staying connected. Thank you for hosting this space.
Thanks Benjamin! I think you'll find some more activity from AoH in Egypt on the ning. We're working out how best to communicate between sessions, and a few of us are trying the ning. We'll let you know how it goes!
You guessed it right, I was in the same class as Isabella! I'm looking forward to learning and growing from this community. Thank you for your warm welcome!
Thank you very much for the warm welcome. I'm sure you'll hear much more from the fascinating experience we've had from other people from La Arenera this weekend. I'm ready to explore, learn, and share from becoming an artist in the AoH world :)
Thanks Benjamin for the welcome and thanks to you and Mary Alice for hosting the space. The collage is gorgeous, I'll send you a joyful smiling me pretty soon...:)
Hi Benjamin I appreciate your prompt and welcoming response. Looking forward to conversing with lively spirits all around our little planet, 3rd from the sun. Take risks. Go well.
Thank you Benjamin for your welcome! Im so happy to be here and look forward to be charing, asking, learning and getting to know this beautiful community. Warmest, Kajsa
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?
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. :)
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.
Hi Benjamin, Here's a quick message to say hello and thank you for the warm welcome note! If you ever plan coming to Montreal, feel free to drop me a line. There's a promising AoH community starting to take root here. All the best, Juan Carlos :)
