A fire in Africa is magic. It is the place where people gather to get light in the darkness and to protect them from the cold. It is a social place, where folklore is transferred from one generation to the other. A fire provides energy for preparing food, provides safety and a sense of belonging. It is where the shamans predict tomorrows, drive out bad spirits and cleanse the souls of their followers. The flames provide images that are ever-changing and stimulate the imagination of those who stare in them. A fire is what inspires us, ignites the will to take on the future and provides faith in the beauty of human existence. We all need a fire…
What is “Around the fire…”?
We are presenting regular events where we apply the “Around the fire” idea.
- We present short facilitated and interactive sessions on specific topics in an online format.
- From time to time we have a real physical get together on a week evening where we sit around a fire somewhere and share our joys and frustrations and inspire each other to get the best out of their own environment.
We publish a blog on the topic to prepare you for the thinking. The rules are simple: no formal PowerPoint presentations, an introduction of the topic will be given and a facilitated discussion takes place. We provide a summary of the discussion outcomes to delegates that attended. What you take away are concepts mentioned by other participants contextualised against the background of the topic under discussion to apply to your life and work. We all make new friends and broaden our views on many aspects of work and life.
