How can we move together through challenge and change and into more collaborative and participatory practice? What does it take to move beyond techniques to become more skillful in hosting groups?
Move into the heart of hosting to deepen your skills, your awareness, and your practice.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn with Art of Hosting Steward and Story Activist, Mary Alice Arthur.
In four short stand-alone 2.5 hour sessions presented and co-hosted by World Cafe Steward Amy Lenzo of weDialogue, Beyond Facilitation is designed for serious participatory practitioners who want to deepen the foundations of their practice.
The first two sessions are based on Mary Alice Arthur’s years of experience with and deep understanding of two priceless gifts developed by the Art of Hosting community for the field of participatory practice – The Fourfold Practice and the Eight Breaths of Process Architecture. Understanding these fundamentals will immediately deepen your practice, no matter what format/s you are using in your hosting practice..
In the last two sessions of Beyond Facilitation, Mary Alice blends the leading-edge arts of participatory practice with a deep understanding of narrative, the “secret sauce” of extraordinary hosting. Presenting story and hosting in a unique and highly potent fusion, Mary Alice reveals story as an integral part of working with groups and shows us how to dance with it as one of your most trusted process partners.
Choose the whole four-course meal or select individual sessions “a la carte.”

Origin Call with Liberating Structures Founders
2022-03-15 10:00 - 12:00
Join Amy at Beehive Productions for one of our wonderful “Origin Calls” to hear from the pioneers in our field. This Origin Story call features Keith McCandless and Henri Lipmanowicz, founders of the Liberating Structures model.
An origin story where we explore how a new language for self-organising and participatory practices was created.
Keith and Henri set out to find ways to answer the question: Why is it that so many organizations of all stripes are filled with disengaged workers, dysfunctional groups, and wasted ideas?
Collaborating, they found and developed Liberating Structures, microstructures that anyone can use at any level of an organization to start to change how we relate and work together.
Join us to learn more about this extraordinary work and hear about how it has evolved over the years.

What First Nations Can Teach Us About Power & Privilege
2022-08-18 09:00 - 11:00
A GLEN Exchange leading into the Transforming Power and Privilege course being offered in September by Beehive Productions.
Hosted by Amy Lenzo. Rowan Simonsen, and FireHawk Hulin.
As facilitators and hosts, we work within an invisible field of interconnectedness, where power and privilege shape relationships and possibilities. What can First Nations teach us about navigating power dynamics – in ourselves, with each other, and in the world? In this exchange, we will explore indigenous understandings of power and privilege through storytelling and dialogue. Listening deeply to the innate wisdom of the natural world – of which we are a part — we will each discover new ways to see and work with power and privilege.

How do we work wisely with power to ensure that the seeds of our collective insights can grow into strong actions?
Anywhere we show up, we step into an often invisible field of interconnectedness, where power has had a role in shaping the fabric of our relationships.
We invite you to explore the nature of power and how you use it through a lens partly rooted in First Nation cultural concepts, practicing Depth, Courage, Vision & Joy as strategies for transforming the way we engage in our meetings, organizations, and social movements.

Amy has been working with Bioneers for several years now, hosting community conversations, and starting last year she has been hosting a few interactive Book Clubs a year with them – two or three sessions with at least one given over to small group conversation about the book, and one engaging with the author. The books are always wonderful explorations of nature-based topics. In this Book Club, the book we’re focused on is Is A River Alive?, by Rob MacFarlane. Here’s bit more about it:
Blending immersive travel writing with deep cultural inquiry, Is a River Alive? traces three powerful stories of rivers at the heart of legal and planetary transformation. In addition to the book club discussion, join us for an exclusive author session with Robert Macfarlane, one of the most celebrated nature writers of our time, as he shares personal insights into the making of the book, the rivers and people who shaped it, and what it means to write at the confluence of ecology, culture, and imagination.
