THE ART OF HOSTING & HARVESTING CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER

21 - 24 October 2018
3.5 day residential training
Our organisations, communities, and families are full of change, complexity and big challenges. Many of us are looking for new ways to thoughtfully surf these waves together.

​The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter training offers simple and powerful participatory practices, patterns and processes that enable us to listen deeply to each other and take wise action to meet our challenges.
​
We warmly invite you to join us for a 3.5 day training event on beautiful Minjerribah - North Stradbroke Island - where the Quandamooka people have surfed the waves of history and reclaimed their cultural heritage, and the island’s natural beauty is celebrated and cherished by its community.
