Tenneson, while I don't know much about the Art of Hosting trainings, I am happy to know that there are other bumblebees out there cross pollinating the deepening field of collective intelligence. When I first offered this training in 2004, I found, as you say, there is such a yearning for real connection/conversation/content. It makes me happy to think of you buzzing around the field - hope to bump into you soon :-) Love, Christine Christine Whitney Sanchez KAIROS Alliance Inc. 2717 E.
