I was replying to a question on the Art of Hosting Facebook page about whether anyone had done a low stimulus training, without a facility that fills with posters, and stickies and graphic recording and all manner of artifiacts. \u00a0<\/p>\n

I once did a one day Art of Hosting that took place on a walk in a forest here on my home island. We first sat together by a water fall to check in on the question of what is flowing and what is staying the same. We stopped at a set of old hollowed out cedar tress for a cafe conversation, where we were able to fit four groups of three inside the burnt out trucks of the old cedars. We walked around a lake while I taught about the four fold practice to a small meditation sanctuary in the woods next to a 1100 year old Douglas fir where we sat in circle. And then we set a round of of Open Space conversations and we walked halfway back for the first round. Then stopped in a meadow to start the second round. and finished those conversations before returning to the village, and the pub for beer and dinner and then I sent my friends away on the ferry. There was no writing, no sticky notes, no posters, no flip charts, nothing other than a few good questions, a teaching on the ground and some lovely conversation. I'd do it again in a second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
