About

This weblog is home base for a group of 36 people (ages 16-66) who gathered in Oacoma, South Dakota USA in March, 2008 to share in the experience of an Art of Hosting training. We were hosted through our experience by Tim Merry and Sera Thompson, both of Nova Scotia, Canada. The rest of us live in South Dakota, North Dakota or Minnesota.

We are: Amy Bryant, Ashton Walters, Beth Davis, Cheryl Glaeser, Christine Hamilton, Cynthia Graber, Darah Darrington, Deb Soholt, Deborah Letcher, Diana Vander Woude, Elaine Spain, Gloria Damgaard, Jerry Nagel, Jim Beddow, Joanne Haase, Joe Bartmann, John Considine, Joy McCracken, Karen Pearson, Linda Young, Lindsey Karlson, Liz Maiers, Maggie Schmaltz, Marge Hegge, Marie Hvidsten, Michelle Eddy, Reggie Edwards, Rey Gonzalez, Ryan Aasheim, Shawn Burke, Tara Brodkorb, Taylor Waltner, and Teddie Herman.

I’m Joe Bartmann, one of the 36 and the “keeper of the weblog” (better known as member of the Harvesting Team). You can reach me by sending a friendly email to joe bart 33 at gmail dot com (all one long word without any spaces–I type it this way to be sure I only get email from humans…).

Peace and blessings!
