Free mini-books about dialogic practice now available

September 4, 2025 By Chris Corrigan Facilitation, Featured 2 Comments

Over the years I’ve written nearly 3000 entries on my blog ranging from short notes and links to long essays and collections of writing. Of interest to facilitators and dialogue practitioners, I am publishing some of these as mini-books, in pdf form which you can now download for free. All I ask in return is that you leave me a little note if you find these useful or interesting. I’m curious how they are informing your practices.

Here are the first three:

  • A life lived in the four-fold practice: my journey in the Art of Hosting. A set of essays on the Art of Hosting, illustrated with stories from my own life.
  • The Two Loops Model: A Living System of Change. A set of essays on the two loops and how to apply it in organizational and community life.
  • The Tao of Holding Space. This book explores the practice of holding space by reinterpreting the Tao te Ching. While written for Open Space facilitators, it has wide application across a number of facilitation approaches.

You will find more of my writing, interviews, videos and podcasts on their own page.
