From Strategic Conversation to Wise Action to Social Change -

The Art of Hosting and Convening Conversations is a combined experiential training, learning lab and retreat that is being practiced in sustainability, grassroots community building, educational reform and other social change and democracy movements around the world.  It provides a space where we can connect to what matters most, discover what is possible, and inspire co-creation.  It is a space where leaders, groups and communities can have meaningful conversations about systemic change – conversations that lead to wise action.  

For this Art of Hosting we invite

· participation from the educational, corporate, social, cultural and environmental sectors to join in meaningful conversations that lead to wise action.

· leaders from the New York and Global Community who want to promote collective creativity and intelligence in order to achieve better cooperation and results.

· practitioners who would like to join a growing, global learning community.

 Our hosting team, Toke Moeller (Denmark), Teresa Posakony (Seattle, USA), Tenneson Woolf (Utah, USA), and the New York City Art of Hosting Practitioners Group Nancy Fritsche Eagan, Kelly McGowan, Vivian Vazquez, Lisa Caswell, Robert Clark, Cynthia Wiggins, and Martin Siesta  welcomes you.
