We see several areas of practicing participatory leadership that need to be taken into consideration, no matter what methodology we are using, so our courses are focused in these 6 areas:
After having collaboratively produced successful advanced trainings for the World Cafe and Art of Hosting communities, we became fascinated by the cross-pollination of knowledge we saw working across practitioner communities. We know that we learn best by working together, so we created Beehive Productions as a way to call out and support the great diversity of methods and hosts that make up the field of participatory practice.
We have been friends for many years, initially brought together by a number of mutual passions: for life-long learning, for the capacity and potential we see in the online medium, by our belief that conversation is the key to social transformation, and by our deep love for the Earth and the natural world. We have each been pioneers in bringing the heart and energy of the communities we represent (the Art of Hosting for Rowan and the World Cafe for Amy) into the online environment, developing online spaces for community development and online trainings to support hosts of all methodologies in continuing to develop their practice.
Rowan is the founder and director of Upstream Consulting. He is driven by a fascination with new media and an ongoing commitment to host conversations that matter in order to help people and organizations learn and grow.
Amy founded weDialogue to expand what is possible online, where she delights in creating opportunities for deep engagement, learning, and connection – to ourselves, each other, and the rest of natural world.
We are delighted to be collaborating with these amazing practitioners, helping us make our courses both deeply relevant, based on diverse real world experience and very beautiful and engaging at the same time.
