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

from the Open Space Technology community.

I have never attended an AoH event, however I have a lot of experience working with OST and sister approaches (Whole Person Process Facilitation; Dynamic Facilitation).

I am attracted to AoH because it seems to be an inspiring attempt at explaining in detail what it looks like in a very practical way to live, create, and sustain life in an Open Space way.
