Art of Hosting Vietnam

Do you sometimes wonder if you could transform your most meaningful relationships--friends, family, partners, colleagues--into something new, something deeper, something stronger? And do you sometimes wonder what difference it could make in your life?

A Harvard study of hundreds of people for more than 80 years has revealed the crucial role that good relationships play in our health and happiness. It turns out that close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives. The need to connect deeply in meaningful relationships is hardwired into each person, yet many of us still struggle to do so.

But what if it was easy? Could there be a way to break out of our current relationship patterns? To bridge the gaps we feel and connect on a deeper level? What might happen if we explored these possibilities, together, in conversation?

You are invited to Vietnam’s 3rd training in The Art of Hosting & Harvesting Conversations that Matter, where participants will explore together this question:

"How can we practice conversations that invite transformation in our most meaningful relationships and open new possibilities?"

The Art of Hosting & Harvesting Conversations that Matter offers simple and powerful participatory practices, patterns and processes that enable us to listen deeply to each other and take wise action to meet our challenges.

In this 3.5-day learning experience, participants are invited to deepen their insight into participatory leadership: they will discover and practice a set of simple yet powerful approaches for designing and facilitating powerful conversations, engagement processes and meetings. They will also learn and experience key practices and tools for collaboration, while engaging in deep conversation on the calling question above.

The Art of Hosting : A 3-day training on participatory leadership methods

This 3-day residential training offers simple and powerful participatory practices, patterns and processes to harness the collective wisdom and self-organizing capacity of groups of any size.

Participants have the opportunity to experience and practice “hosting” (facilitating) various participatory processes and methodologies.

These methodologies are specifically designed for working with complex challenges where the solution is not obvious and the path forward is unknown, even to the leader. They help access the collective intelligence of any group, to find new solutions through creative collaboration. The invitation question will be explored during the training as the focus of each hosted conversation.

Join us on this learning journey to:

Deepen your insight into participatory leadership and working with emergence and complexity.
Learn ways to create and hold spaces where people are invited to unlock their full potential and make valuable contributions.
Practise a set of simple yet powerful approaches for designing and hosting (facilitating) powerful conversations, engagement processes and meetings.
Learn and experience key practices and tools for collaboration such as Appreciative Inquiry, World Cafe, Open Space, Collective Story Harvesting, Circle Practice and Designing for Wiser Action. We will also learn about practices, concepts and methodologies such as next stage or ‘Teal’ organisations, Theory U and more.
Discover the Art of Harvesting - visually capturing and making sense of meetings and conversations for clarity, learning, growth and wise action.
Apply what you are learning directly to the change projects that are important to you, your community or organisation
Join a diverse group of people ready to learn and willing to question themselves and the current paradigm. You will also become part of and have access to a national and global network of practitioners

If you have made this far reading, we really appreciate your interest. However, there is only so much words can convey and Art of Hosting is not something that can be simply explained with a few elegant words. It is in fact, much like life itself, ever-changing and evolving. As a Chinese proverb goes:

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I will learn."

This is our invitation for you to be involved
