Hi Spaceniks in Charlotte
I am here for the day tomorrow, quite unexpectedly, as my flight to NYC
was cancelled this afternoon. Life is what happens ...
And would be delighted to connect in person with anyone in this locality
who has the time to do this.
I have great stories to relate about WOS in St Petes and also about
visiting with Juanita Brown and David Isaacs of TWC - and friends - at
their new abode near Asheville.
If you are available to do this pls call me at the Quality Inn
704.393.5306 before 10am tomorrow (Fri).
Looking forward
Alan Stewart
on my way home to Adelaide

Dear Open Spaceniks,
On the eve of the lush and delightful-sounding Florida WOsonOs,
below is the link to a video I took on my phone of Harrison walking
the opening circle of the last day of a different lively gathering,
which was called "Connecting for Community
<http://connecting4community.wordpress.com/>" and took place in
Cincinnati a few weeks ago.
One of the ways in which that gathering was very lively was that the
space opened itself! The day before Harrison was scheduled to do it,
participants lovingly yet vigorously inverted the offered design of
the gathering, and insisted on getting into conversations around
what we cared to talk about and take action on. The first two days
of the three day gathering were scheduled to be a combination of
inspiring short talks by (truly) brilliant and beloved elders, mixed
with small group conversations provoked by what we'd just heard. But
for many, it wasn't enough of getting to find out who else was in
the room, and too much on the side of being talked to by elder men.
So, like grass pushing up through the sidewalk, a lot of life spoke
up when the whole group convened at the end of the second morning!
Although by that afternoon, we'd gone back into something like the
beginning format.
Anyway, I went to the gathering in part because I knew that Harrison
was coming to facilitate the day of Open Space. When he started
walking around the circle at the appointed time, early on the third
morning, it occurred to me to use the video recorder on my new phone
(which I don't really know how to use, as you'll see if you watch
the video) - I experienced it as sort of a "master class," getting
to hear the spiel, and see the gestures and body language that I've
read the words of many times, as Harrison not only facilitated our
gathering, but basically taught everyone listening how to open space
ourselves, "whenever and wherever."
Here's the link: https://vimeo.com/65488850
Although it's rough, I think it's still fun to watch at least a
moment or two of what it looks like to walk that opening circle with
more than 25 years of it in your bones. It is also pretty great to
see how people leaped up to write their sessions, as soon as he
invited us to!
(please note - I've found that the echo-y sound is best understood
if you can listen through earphones ;-))
Sending warm wishes for a rich and deep and surprising time to
everyone at the international WOSonOs, and to the rest of us, too!
love from Seattle, Christy
