Dear Artur and all I've been privileged, over many years, to use Open Space both formally and informally in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and lots of other parts of Australia; in Guam; in Shizuoka, Japan; in Beijing, China; in Maribor, Slovenia; in Stockholm, Sweden; in Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand; in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea; in various parts of the United States and Canada; in Guadalajara, Mexico; and in a host of other places which escape my ailing memory right now. It has always worked well. And I don't think my odd accent or my brilliance as a facilitator/animateur has been the main reason. Rather, I observe that the people in the circle take it up and use it their way. Always. And make it their own - it's part of the "letting-go" which is so vital and - sometimes - so difficult for facilitators to achieve. Interesting that I have met one accountant in Port Moresby who considered that all things American are evil. And one Nortel executive in Sydney who considers that all things emanating from the US (where he is from) are useless in every other part of the world. My experience is different, as you can see. Cheers and blessings, Fr Brian S. Bainbridge
