8.20: The Power of Gathering In Person

What does it take to lead, collaborate and create change when the systems around us feel increasingly stretched?Tim Merry sits down with longtime friend and colleague Sera Thompson to explore what this moment is asking of leaders, facilitators and changemakers. They talk about burnout, polarization and the fraying of our institutions - but also about the power of relationships, collective wisdom and simply being together.Sera shares how Art of Hosting transformed her own leadership practice, why conflict can be a source of wisdom, and why creating spaces where people can genuinely connect may be one of the most important things we can do right now.It’s a conversation about finding our way through complexity — not alone, but together.ResourcesLearn more about, and follow, The Outside by visiting and liking all of our channels:Website: www.findtheoutside.com Facebook & Instagram: @findtheoutside LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/findtheoutsideConnect with us at [email protected] FOR THE ART OF HOSTING CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTERArt of Hosting - GlobalDr. Gabrielle DonnellySera ThompsonDennis AdamsEcology Action Centre & Marla MacLeodBook: “I Hope We Choose Love," by Kai Cheng ThomMyrna Lewis - Deep Democracy Hosted on Acast.
