From Saturday to Friday I facilitated at the ALIA Conference Europe 2013 with Arawana Hayashi the ‘Presencing: Leading for Profound Innovation and Change’ Track. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The flow of the whole conference was beautiful with a lot of art and awareness practices. We had in our track (there are 6 parallel tracks that come together everyday) 27 participants from Bermuda, Colombia, Canada, Zambia and most European countries.
We were keen to make it a special experience for everybody and that happened in a profound way. More to be shared later.
Some of the feedback afterwards, wonderful:
Dear Friends, Arawana and Hein,

Dear Hein and dear Arawana
Many thanks for this wonderful week. These 5 days with you and all the ALIA travelers were for me an inspiring journey of deep discovery. I am happy I joined you all in Driebergen.
And many thanks for the impressions, the most beautiful workshop summary I ever received.
Hein, thank you for your generosity and the beautiful story constructed here. It will all live with me for a long time. With love to you all.
Arawana, you are a goddess! A naughty playful child, inside a sage elder! You can cut heads with grace. Hein, you are an eternal teenager in a Dutch grown-up body. Never doubt the power of presencing to us disciples.
