Art of Hosting Practice Camp

Join us for the NS Art of Hosting Practice Camp
As facilitators, we are often the ones holding space for others yet we rarely have opportunities to practice, experiment, receive feedback, and learn alongside peers in a supportive environment before we are live in front of our community, when it really matters.
The Art of Hosting Practice Camp is a two-day gathering for facilitators, hosts, educators, community leaders, and changemakers who are using (or just beginning to use) Art of Hosting approaches in their work and communities.
This is not a formal AoH training and it is recommended that participants have a grounding in the facilitation techniques of AoH before registering for this gathering. Reach out for more information about pre-learning and training options.
This IS a collaborative practice space designed for people who learn best by doing!
Together, we will explore questions such as:
Where does my facilitation practice feel uncertain?
What conversations or gatherings am I preparing to host this fall?
How do I stay grounded when emergence, tension, or complexity arise?
What does it mean to host with courage, clarity, and care in these times?
Through live practice, peer coaching, reflection, and peer feedback from other experienced practitioners, participants will have opportunities to strengthen their confidence and deepen their craft.
What We’ll Practice Together
Participants are encouraged to bring real facilitation questions, challenges, or upcoming event designs to work with during the camp.Together we will engage with a variety of Art of Hosting methods and facilitation approaches, actively experimenting with facilitating in small groups including:
Circle Practice
World Café
Open Space Technology
Harvesting and sense-making
Designing meaningful conversations
Hosting emergence and complexity
Giving and receiving constructive feedback
What You Can Expect
A safe and encouraging practice environment
Real-time facilitation practice and peer feedback
Time for reflection, conversation, and connection
Informal evening gatherings and campfire conversations - the good stuff!
Opportunities to build relationships with facilitators from across Atlantic Canada
This gathering is also intended to seed an ongoing Atlantic Art of Hosting Community of Practice which could become a regional network committed to continuing to learn and host together over time.
