Participating in this course was one of the best possible investments of my time, my energy and my financial resources.  It was an immersion into the theory and practice of hosting that is very supportive for both beginning and experienced practitioners. I loved the intensity and the academic rigour of this offering. Being trained as a researcher, I am always keen to learn more about the background and history of a practice. And there were so many opportunities to learn – with and from the highly experienced teachers Amy Lenzo and Bo Gyllenpalm, and with and from my peers, who came from all over the world. The diversity of participants made it a very rich learning experience for me.

Looking at my own blind spots and receiving such kind support from the group and the teachers when I got stuck in designing a World Café process, I have never been in an online course where this mixture of being challenged and being at ease was so present.

The combination of asynchronous learning on an online learning platform with synchronous online study groups and World Café sessions – for me, this was an ideal learning space.

The generous sharing of knowledge and experience was profound.

I also loved the fact that Hosting Fundamentals alumni were invited to the online World Café. That allowed more connections and even more learning.

Whether you are just starting your journey as a host or whether you have been on this path for a while – this is a course you might want to consider. It’s only held once a year… and it is the only one taking place in cooperation with a Graduate University.
