AoC Session 2: The Invitation, Setting Context, The Napkin Test

Good Day/Evening Conveners,

Thank you for an amazing start to our 7-session journey! As we advance our convening practices in the world, individually and collectively, we are thrilled to be with this remarkable cohort of Conveners.

In Session 1 we covered the first two Aspects of the Convening Wheel: At the Heart of the Matter
and Clarifying Intent. We truly began to experience how to listen ourselves and one another into being around the virtual campfire. 

We are learning the art of authentic connection to create resonance and build a foundation of trust where committed alignment can occur.

Session 1 Zoom video recording is available under "Zoom Recording" in Session 1 information.

The course is set up to provide continuous learning between sessions with homework and partner calls.

Julie and I had a wonderful partner call this evening/this morning. Difficult to believe we only met briefly last week on the Zoom webinar. Both of us have come away with possibilities to ponder for convening opportunities awaiting for us in the coming week. I very much look forward to walking alongside my partner, hearing how she goes with her intentions and enhancing my own via our conversations. Thank you Julie!
