Profile Information:

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?

As a student at Northland College ('09-'11) studying Sustainable Community Development I found AoH through a search for resources. Experiencing World Cafe attracted me to Art of Hosting because the dialogue carried on and was very valuable!

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 a starting practitioner with some significant experience. As a senior capstone I developed a method of hosting a conversation in a transient community. I have helped facilitate World Cafes and Open Spaces. I am developing a revised version of Collective Mind Mapping for use in a community newspaper called The Hillsider in Duluth, MN.

Good, clean, fair food and free public space.

My profile photo was taken on the edge of a tobacco and family sustenance farm in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba!!! I learned we from the USA are blocked from going to Cuba in sixth grade, began researching why, and determined that night to go. November 2011, 11 years later I experienced my dream in real life. The music and dancing was unbelievable!
