The Fourfold Practice is a holographic pattern, fundamental to understanding the territory of hosting. 

The four points on the map help you see where you are putting your attention, and what is being neglected. They make clear how a balance of being and doing is vital to becoming a good practitioner. 

We begin with personal practice. Hosting yourself well creates the ground for all that follows. When we are being hosted, we focus on the conversations we want to be in and contribute wholeheartedly. Working together with others to host and harvest conversations that matter builds on the last two folds and offers important principle for expanding your reach and refining your practice. 

Being part of a community that practices together encourages us to keep polishing our skills and awareness. And the core mastery pattern offers an invaluable focus for not only your hosting practice, but living your life in a balanced and joyful way.

The Fourfold Practice is a holon, meaning each part of the map incorporates and moves beyond the point that comes before it. When all parts of this map are working in harmony, you bring both greater presence and greater effectiveness to your work and life; your inner world and your outer expression are in generative relationship.

Your practice is as solid as the ground you stand on.
