How do we engage in meaningful work in ways that transform systems and ourselves?

ABOUT

Built on the exploration and practices from the AoH training programs since 2016, where individuals from diverse backgrounds have chosen to come together to listen, reflect on themselves, and cultivate profound and genuine connections.

This May, the 3-day training program The Art of Harvesting and Hosting Work that Matter 2025 embarks on a journey of exploring and sharing experiences in practicing the art of dialogue (hosting) and harvesting in the workplace. In this space, you can experience a different leadership approach that helps each person connect more deeply with themselves, thereby fostering the spread of collective intelligence and co-creative leadership, which strengthens an organization in meaningful and sustainable ways.

The calling question for this year’s program is: 

How do we engage in meaningful work in ways that transform systems and ourselves?
