To learn more about Art of Hosting:
Art of Hosting is a practice of looking for the deep patterns around groups that work and creating meetings where people can do their best work together.  Practically, it is a fusion of some very powerful participatory facilitation tools and practices (appreciative inquiry, world café, proaction café, open space technology, and circle practice).  Used together, they are a flexible way to help people lead and help groups move into connection and deep conversation and action fast. It has come from a group of practitioners who were looking for ways to support the people they were working with to work at the boundary of connection and innovation.
