Dear Harrison Happy 88th birthday ! I came to open space via The Chaordic Alliance, and especially Christine Whitney Sanchez who facilitated a 5 days OS event in California for and with them that definitively changed my life. When was it ? 2002 maybe ? Then I tried to find out more, back in France. And I found this listserv. Then Michael M Pannwitz and Boscop. And you a few years later. I remember how sorry I was when you had to cancel your trip to Europe for the Riding the Wave.It was nonetheless a big moment for me. Then I met Suzanne and it definitively helped me come to NYC to the Practice of Peace. ;)
I Wish you a good health, lots of joy with your loved ones and from time to time a bit of writing in this list ;) Christine > Le 4 déc. 2023 à 15:33, Eva P Svensson via OSList <[email protected]> a > écrit : > > Dear Harrison, > I’m standing in line to cheer to you for your birthday and my thanks for Open > Space, such a gift and blessing.
