On this list, I wish to acknowledge Eiwor Backelund of Sweden for one of many gifts that she has given me (and many others). I met her three years ago at one of our workshops (sponsored by Agneta Falk, another special friend in Sweden). Since that time, Eiwor has completed all of our workshops and together with Thomas Herrmann (another special friend in Sweden) teaches the Genuine Contact program in Sweden, assisting others to work with the intentional Conscious Open Space Organization. I am grateful to both of them and the other workshop leaders who are doing this pioneering work around the world.
My current acknowledgement of her that I wanted to bring to your attention is that she has again volunteered her services to do the cooking for all participants during our workshop series here in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA from September 6th through 29th. This is inclusive of cooking for the participants of the International Alliance for Mentoring Conference. Eiwor gives this gift of hers freely to us, as a contribution from her of assisting us in moving forward with the pioneering work with the intentional Conscious Open Space Organization. I thank her for this gift, for the way that she holds her "open space" sessions in the kitchen, and puts a new spin on the "butterfly" at the OST meeting. Most participants find their way to her, assisting her at different times when they feel moved to do so, the sessions are held, lots is learned, reports are not written, but key insights are shared in morning or evening news. I acknowledge and thank Eiwor for her generousity of her gifts and her spirit to us in this way. I am deeply moved by it. I, as well as others have worked on moving this work out into the world. Sometimes the going is tough and I get discouraged. Eiwor's generous gift includes a support that I cannot put into words.
