Current Areas of Interest

Here are some of the topics within the Art of Hosting communities of practice that engage me the most:

  • Conversations in education around issues of school climate and reduced budgets, just to name a couple of the critical topics facing schools today.
  • Helping to build resilient communities, particularly in the co-housing world, but also in local neighborhoods and within the Transition Town movement.
  • Actively engaged in local communities of practice both in Vermont and the New England region.
  • Curiosity about the role of embodied presence in deepening community conversations.
  • Curiosity about the Powers of Place initiative that considers the Earth as a stakeholder and brings that perspective into each conversation.
  • Intrigued by how subtle dimensions affect individual and group understanding and evoke (or express) the collective wisdom.
