# Hosting and facilitation(+Digital)

Good hosting and facilitation skills are leadership skills. In Future Leaders, this is most important for those hosting the program - but it can be useful for anyone who wants to support group processes.

## Hosting

Read more about the Art of Hosting on their webpage. Especially "What is it?" and "How does it work?" are essential. <http://www.artofhosting.org/what-is-aoh/>\
There is a long list of resources, consisting of [videos](http://www.artofhosting.org/resources/videos/), [articles](http://www.artofhosting.org/resources/articles/), and [books](http://www.artofhosting.org/resources/reading-list/).

Within hosting, different kind of spaces can be designed. The one that we use the most with our tribes / home groups, where we create intimacy to foster vulnerability and courage, is highly based on [The Circle Way](http://www.thecircleway.net/the-circle-way). \
It is best described via these [three videos](http://www.thecircleway.net/resource-videos). (Part one, two, and three.) Some of the content is summarised in these 2-page guidebook found in different languages: <http://www.thecircleway.net/circle-way-guidelines>

While we do not need to ascribe to the spiritual or philosophical elements of AoH or TCW, the tools, principles, and practices are immensely powerful for human transformation - which Future Leader, and Leadership, is all about.
