The Art of Hosting and Harvesting -

From Strategic Conversation to Wise Action and Systemic Change at the Shambhala Institute 2008 for Authentic Leadership in Action.

The Art of Hosting and Harvesting: From Strategic Conversation to Wise Action and Systemic Change with Chris Corrigan, Toke Møller & Monica Nissén

Powerful questions and conversations create fundamental shifts in the way we perceive challenges, engage with others, and move into action.

In this module we will explore the art and practice of hosting the process of systemic change that begins with asking questions that matter.

We will  practice the art of harvesting the results of our conversations — the collective intelligence and emerging patterns that are the basis for shared learning and the creation of new stories and higher-order meaning.

We will also cultivate our own capacity as host as we explore these questions:

How do we bring ourselves and our work into the generative space between chaos and control?

How do we host spaces in which collective wisdom is revealed?

How do we recognize and sustain the fractal nature of change?

How do we enter into collaborations with open-heartedness?

This module is for leaders, social entrepreneurs, and other agents of change who are working with teams, core groups, companies, or communities who are inspired to co-create more resilient, meaning-full, and sustainable futures.
