The Art of Participatory Leadership: An intensive Weekend Workshop

Have you ever needed to learn to engage people; to increase participation something that really matters?

Do you want to build capacity to lead change?

Join us.

The Resilience Hub is pleased to be offering The Art of Participatory Leadership training. Now practiced and offered worldwide, this intensive 3-day event where you will experience and practice a set of simple, yet powerful, processes for building community, facilitating powerful conversations, building strong partnerships, and leading change. Come explore how to unleash our collective genius and build adaptive and leader-full communities.

Rooted in the Four Fold practice of the Art of Hosting (http://artofhosting.org/), this event teaches a participative approach for leading, convening, and engaging groups. The practice begins with being present and hosting one’s self, from there we participate in learning conversations, hosting and convening conversations, and co-creating (initiatives, change, teams, resilience networks, etc.).

Why Art of Hosting?

• Connect with other leaders of the sustainability and resilience movements and explore how we can work more powerfully together.

• Broaden the skill set within your group, work more effectively and enjoyably together, engage teams, organizations, and community stakeholders in meaningful conversations that promote resilience, belonging, innovation, and contribution.

• Enhance our skills and abilities to work with complexity, develop chaordic confidence, face challenges that don’t have solutions, use wise process planning architectures for small and large scale initiatives, and host strategic conversations over time.

• Imagine and plan for how we can use these practices in our individual and collective work in the months and years ahead. Grow your hosting practice and try something new!

Who Should Attend?

Individuals and teams who are eager to build stronger teams and partnerships with each other and within their communities should attend. People who are dedicated to creating many facets of resilient and sustainable communities from permaculture to local economies to sustainable enterprises should attend.
