Brendan, IMPECCABLE timing for your message - Thank you, Thank you . . . I am one week away from doing a similar event which has potential for 120 participants (for a 3 hour "Questions and curiosities about Open Space"). We are in Nashville, TN USA where not a lot of OST is happening, and we're working on changing that.
Anyhow, the format I had imagined for our meeting EXACTLY mirrors what you have done, and it is a HUGE relief for me to see success with it 1 week prior. Thank you and wishing everyone well, b Barry Owen The Owen Group Keller Williams Realty The fastest growing, most innovative real estate firm in North America 615.568.2123 http://www.geocities.com/barryo.geo ----- Original Message ----- From: BrendanMcKeague <mckea...@iprimus.com.au> Date: Sunday, February 9, 2003 2:10 am Subject: LOCAL OS PRAC GROUP > G'day friends and colleagues > > We held our first local practice group for OS here in sunny Perth > duringthe week - it was fantastic...! > > At the 2 day training program last year with Michael Herman, a > small group > decided to meet together for Keeping the Space Open - this was to > be an > opportunity to practice opening the space and to share how we were > travelling in response to the training program.
