How We Gather

Join us for a transformative two-day experience where we explore The Art of Hosting facilitation techniques to create gatherings that cultivate deep connection, bridge divides, and strengthen community. In a world that often feels disconnected, the way we come together matters. Whether you’re a community leader, facilitator, organizer, or simply someone who wants to host more intentional gatherings, this workshop will equip you with practical tools to:

✨ Design gatherings that foster trust and engagement

🤝 Facilitate conversations that build understanding across differences

🌍 Strengthen communities through meaningful participation

Led by experienced practitioners in The Art of Hosting, this event will be an immersive, participatory journey where we learn together by doing. Expect a blend of storytelling, dialogue, and real-time application that will shift the way you think about hosting and gathering. We will spend time in immersive exploration of Circle Practice, The Art of Powerful Questions, Proaction Café, Inclusive space design, Collective decision making.
