How can practicing the "Art of Hosting" support us
​in creating thriving futures for all?

​​With this calling question,​ we warmly invite you to join us for the
12th "Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter” training
in Karlskrona, Sweden in June 19-22, 2023 
At a time when the world is more messy, more crowded, more interconnected, more interdependent, ​
and more rapidly changing than ever before, ​the more ways of seeing, the better...
Each way of seeing ​allows our knowledge of the wondrous world ​​in which we live ​​to become a little more complete.

​Our invitation

We are living in an increasingly uncertain world with the accelerating speed and scope of ecological and social disruptions. We have witnessed the dying of old structures and ways of thinking while inviting emerging patterns and practices to weave our new social fabric. What connects us in the transition from this current reality to a thriving future for all is the sense of urgency and taking agency for changes. Being in the flow of the transition requires us to listen attentively to the needs of our communities and respond to that consciously within our collective capacities. 
  • How can inviting new ways of seeing the world help us embrace changes and navigate our actions to respond to the call of our times? 
  • How will participatory leadership support us collectively to hold the complexity and fuel our movement into a sustainable future we imagine? 
With curiosity and open hearts, we want to invite you to join our training to learn and reflect about the way we are leading and participating in the transition towards sustainability. Together, we will inspire each other to take courageous actions towards a future that is led by participatory processes.

​​What will we learn & practice together?


Art of Hosting Karlskrona has become an annual three-day training, organized by MSLS students (Master of Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability) on a non-profit basis, and facilitated by international experienced facilitators. It is a fantastic chance to  learn simple yet powerful practices that build community, activate collective intelligence and foster individual and collaborative leadership in a complex world.
This training is experiential - you will have opportunities to practice “hosting” various participatory processes and methodologies, through the lens of the invitation question. The training will support you to host more effective, purposeful meetings, and apply collective intelligence in complex systems. The learning includes:
  • Simple and powerful tools for collaboration such as: Circle, World Café, Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, Designing for Wiser Action, Collective Story Harvesting and more
  • Models and frameworks that are useful for navigating complexity, designing and hosting (facilitating) engaging meetings, processes and organizations
  • The Art of Harvesting - how to visually capture and make sense of meetings and conversations for clarity, learning, growth and wise action
  • Apply what you are learning directly to the change projects that are important to you, your community or organisation
  • Join a diverse and supportive global community of practitioners
