The Need for the Art of hosting

 "We are the system - the system is not outside ourselves
- it is our own broken relationships that need to heal - my relationship to myself, to life - to this earth - to the others - to my work - to the world.

That is how systemic shifts happen.

I am the need in the world - we are the system - we are the solution.
Meaningful conversations and real learning space heal our relationships.

We are invited to enter living and working from the heart....

From disrespect to respect - from I know better to curiousity - from judging to understanding each other – from machine to living system - from fear to love.

This is what we need to host now between us

This is part of the Work of anyone who wants to help the world at this time."

 - collective insight during Aoh in Brazil December 2007

Our world faces some serious challenges...which, unless we learn to discuss

as we did here, it would be too difficult to overcome...

We need new conversation tools and group processes that can help us work through complexity and find collective solutions.

• To ground our actions in that which is meaningful

• To access and draw wisdom from all our collective intelligences

• To be able to lead from the “field”

• To shift our patterns of organizing and interacting
