However you view the world, there can be no argument that we are living in complex and challenging times, both locally and globally.  Our communities have experienced huge impacts in recent years. The impact of drought, bushfires and Covid-19 have left us with a compelling need to connect and strengthen our communities, to find collective and compassionate leadership, and to face the future together, whatever it might bring.

In these times, it is vital that we find effective ways to work well together – to connect to and care for Country, to support each other, and sharpen our tools for collaboration and connection so that we, and those who are yet to come, can navigate these challenges.​

The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter (also known as the Art of Participatory Leadership) offers simple and powerful participatory practices, patterns and processes to host generative conversations that lead to coordinated action and positive change. These approaches have been used effectively in diverse contexts worldwide to harness collective wisdom, encourage compassionate leadership and collaboration, and create better social and environmental outcomes.

You are warmly invited to join us for a 3-day Art of Hosting training in Cobargo, South East NSW, to explore the questions that you are passionate about, and develop new ways of working together to create the future we need.
