Art of Hosting -- Seeing Brilliance

February 9, 2009

From colleague and hosting mate, Tim Merry...

Last year Jon Guilbert, a documentary film maker joined us at the Shire for the Stewards gathering. He had taken part in the Boston AoH and was excited to explore a documentary around the AoH - following my story and relationships as a way to make the web of people and work visible. Check out the 6 minute film made from the gathering at the Shire.

It's beautiful. Includes some of my dearest friends and hosting colleagues. It offers one voice on this body of work called the Art of Hosting and Convening Conversations.

The Story of Stuff -- Annie Leonard

May 27, 2008

I saw this video a couple of months ago, but lost track of it. Not again. It is worth seeing. A 20 minute piece on the production and consumption pattern in North America. A great piece to stir conversation and reflection on sustainable living.

Wooshclang -- beautiful juggling piece by a Thomas Arthur, a deep soul. There is much to learn in the practice of juggling. Concentration. Play. Soft focus. Creativity. Teamwork. Even for beginners.

One Planet -- short promotion of living green (forwarded from Manish Jain), noticing that the pattern of consumption and disposal in North America is as if there were five planets rather than one.

Sun Flares -- shared by friend Ashley Cooper, whom I met an an Evolutionary Hosts gathering in 2006 on Bowen Island. For me, I feel the sense of being amazed and feeling my imagination awakened by what can be made visible.

Council of Hosts -- created by Thomas Arthur, also at the Evolutionary Hosts gathering. This demonstrates a form of harvest that calls on more senses. It is not a collection of notes. It is a beautiful and simple work that harvests energy from the event, amplified by Thomas' editing and music.

Ultimate Atom -- an image that reminds me that we are alive. I love the shape of this. It's breath.
