Greetings all, Birgitt's posting earlier this month is very relevant to an OST workshop I am preparing for late September. It is for an organization that has been experiencing a lot of tension lately between the "old guard" who "don't want to let go", and the "new guard", "full of new ideas". The Board seems willing to agree to the following timelines: Friday evening: story telling session Saturday: Open Space Sunday morning: convergence. I would welcome stories and suggestions from any of you about how to make the best use of the Friday evening story session. Thank you to Birgitt for her notes on the grief cycle, and to all of you who share your experience on this list serve -- it is a wealth of information for those of us just starting out. I look forward to the day when I can be a contributor as well as a learner! -- Susan Lilley 7 Canterbury Place Dartmouth NS B2Y 4J5 Tel: (902) 463-1837 Fax: (902) 469-0833 * * ========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected] Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html =========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, 1.
