Copenhagen Day Two – Finding my rhythm

It is day two here in Copenhagen. I arrived on Tuesday night and went right to a conversation and presentation at Survival Academy, which is a series of workshops and experiences put on by friends of ours during the next ten days. It was great to arrive and see so many people I know.
Then, the [...]

A Question to Stimulate the World

In preparation for the Inner Climate Learning Villages – we are looking for a question that will Stimulate the World!
So I put out a request to the Art of Hosting community. Such rich inquiries came back. Here are a few:
a question that was once offered by Vaclav Havel:
“How do we prepare ourselves inwardly to live [...]

Embodied Presencing Practice

I had heard of Arawana Hayashi and the Social Presencing Theater she does in collaboration with Otto Scharmer and Theory U. Everyone raved about the experience. Yesterday I finally got the chance to spend a day with Arawana in her intro class that she presented here in Boston.
I was fascinated by the simplicity of Arawana’s [...]

Presencing Foundation Courses

Learning Presencing – a combination of being ‘present’ and ’sensing’ from Otto is really special. He is one busy person, traveling around the world, but if you can catch him I am sure you will benefit. This training, being held in India, is being co-facilitated by Beth Jandernoa and Arawana Hayashi. I don’t know Beth’s [...]

Theory U – Is this possible?

Otto Scharmer, [...]

Most of the people use these skills in their work – from youth, health care, government and so many more areas where talking to each other and building a collective [...]

Women Moving the Edge

In 2006 I got an email from a friend that invited me to a gathering she was co-hosting in Belgium called Women Moving the Edge. “I have no idea what that is” I thought “but that is so cool and I know I am moving something, so I am going!”
In February 2007 I attended the [...]

Kosmos and the Global Commons

I had lunch with Nancy Roof, the Founder of Kosmos Journal, the leading international Journal for planetary citizens committed to the birth and emergence of a new planetary culture and civilization.
I have recommended Kosmos before and I always will. Each page is filled with information that is on the leading edge of what is emerging [...]

Inner Climate Learning Villages and CoP15

Is there a topic hotter (no pun intended) than Climate Change? No. People across the planet are asking questions about what they can do to curtail the shifts in nature. We have let this go very far and we are feeling the effects in weather patterns and seeing them in the suffering around the world [...]
