8.18: Conversations That Matter
Find The OutsideWhat does it mean to bring people together when the challenges we face feel bigger than ever?
In this episode, Tim Merry and Gabrielle Donnelly explore the return of Art of Hosting to Nova Scotia and why participatory leadership feels especially important in this moment. They reflect on creating conversations that matter, making these practices more accessible and inclusive, and cultivating the courage to work together in times of uncertainty.
More than a conversation about facilitation, this is an invitation to imagine what becomes possible when we gather with curiosity, generosity, and a commitment to our shared humanity.
Whether you're a facilitator, leader, community organizer, educator, or simply someone searching for hopeful ways of bringing people together, this episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for the work ahead.

A lively, off-the-cuff conversation hosted by Tuesday Ryan-Hart and Tim Merry on large-scale systems change and equity. For surprising turns, mind-blowing perspective shifts, and good ideas no matter what’s in the way.
In this podcast, we’ll share our greatest light-bulb moments as we advance our own understanding of this work. We’re doing it live, and inviting you in. Welcome! As Tim says in the first episode: reflection is too important to leave to chance. These conversations give us (and you!) a chance to slow down, catch our breath, and see our space and our work more clearly. Subscribe, share, and watch for new episodes coming through the fall. We’re happy to be in your ears!
