A taste of the art of hosting

February 5, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Conversation, Facilitation, Leadership, Learning, Open Space, World Cafe 3 Comments

If you would like a flavour of what happens at workshops on the Art of Hosting, here are some links to give you a sense of things.

  • Audio from the Art of Hosting workshop in southern Indiana last fall. These files were made by Jeneal King, one of the participants who took an active role in harvesting the event. Lots to listen to here. Best I think to download and listen off line.   Update: No longer up as of August 12, 2008.
  • Ravi Tangri in Nova Scotia has been making a number of videos about Art of Hosting teachings on the chaordic stepping stones, harvesting, world cafe and the art of calling. Browse ArtOfHostingTV.net for more.
  • A video from my mate Thomas Ufer of the meta harvest from a recent Art of Hosting workshop in Brazil. This path that he is walking on has notable quotes from the whole three days. Participants walked the path, reflecting on ther experience and then contributed a further thought on the meaning of the experience. THis is a really creative way of find higher and higher levels of collective meaning making.
  • Andy Himes made a short video of a number of us playing with candles and music at last week’s gathering on Whidbey Island. In the evenings there is often creative play and chilling out that we get into. When the weather is nice we often build a fire outside and sit around telling stories of hosting. On Whidbey we did it inside.

This just gives you a sense of the diversity of the experience. If you are interested in attending an Art of Hosting workshop contact me, or check in at the website to see if there is one coming up near where you live.

    Hi Chris,

    Hello from Saturna Island where we are gearing up for our second community-wide Open Space! I thought you’d like to know that the link to the art of hosting events goes to .com rather than .org.

    Thanks as always for your inspiring blog!

    Cher Chris,

    Really appreciate you posting the link to the AOH audio files. Have just forwarded them to the Intertraining and OpenSpaceRu listservs…

    Hoping all is well.
