Jean Martens's Page

How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I learned about the AoH through my friend and colleague David Reis of Copenhagen, probably about 2 1/2 years ago. I was drawn to the purpose and feel of the work and people involved.

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 recently attending my first AoH event, so I am new to the technology, although some of it is familiar in work I have been doing. I am currently traveling and find little application although I can host myself and to some degree, those I visit.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: This is a topic of exploration for me.

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?: I have a passion for marking life cycle events and other thresholds with simple and meaningful ceremony, particularly endings, such as divorce.
