Dear Community and Friends of the Art of Hosting,

☀️ You are warmly invited to join us for the 13th “Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter” in Karlskrona, Sweden! ☀️

🌏 The state of the world calls for a shift in thinking patterns and for behavioral practices that promote the emergence of new societal structures that enhance socio-ecological wellbeing. What unites us in the transition to sustainability is our collective sense of urgency for bold action towards thriving futures for all. Together, we want to explore how stepping into the Art of Hosting practice can transform us and our ability to lead in these times of uncertainty. Join us with an open heart and a curious mind as we explore how we can weave our individual purpose and work into a collective, life-affirming direction in this world.

💭 Step into our training as we learn and reflect on leadership and how to contribute to thriving futures guided by participatory processes. This year’s calling question of the Art of Hosting training in Karlskrona:

🧭 “HOW CAN PRACTICING THE ART OF HOSTING SUPPORT US IN CREATING THRIVING FUTURES FOR ALL?"

The sub-questions with which the students would like to invite for this year's gathering:

🧭"HOW CAN STEPPING INTO THE ART OF HOSTING PRACTICE TRANSFORM ME AND MY ABILITY TO LEAD?"

🧭"HOW CAN WE WEAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL PURPOSES AND WORK INTO A COLLECTIVE LIFE-AFFIRMING DIRECTION?"

🌱 WHAT WILL WE LEARN & PRACTICE TOGETHER?🌱

Art of Hosting Karlskrona has become an annual training organized by MSLS students (Master of Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability) on a non-profit basis, and facilitated by international experienced facilitators. It is a fantastic chance to learn simple yet powerful practices that build community, activate collective intelligence and foster individual and collaborative leadership in a complex world.

This training is an opportunity to step into participatory leadership. Learners are trained not only in theories of why participatory methods are important, additionally they learn how to facilitate them. Participants will have opportunities to practice “hosting” various participatory processes and methodologies, through the lens of the invitation question. The training will support you to host more effective, purposeful meetings, and apply collective intelligence in complex systems.

During the Art of Hosting training we will explore a range of participatory tools, concepts and methods that may include:

▪️ The 4-fold practise

▪️ The Chaordic path

▪️ Open Space Technology

▪️ World Café

▪️ Appreciative Inquiry

▪️ Designing from purpose

▪️ The Art of Harvesting ​and strategic planning

▪️ Chaordic Stepping Stones

▪️ Check In / Check out

▪️ Collective Story Harvest

▪️ ​Designing for wiser action​

We look forward to welcoming you.

With a deep sense of gratitude,

AoH Karlskrona 2024 Organizing team 🌱
