There is a lady called Christel Scholten in Sao Paulo working with Open Space - she is experienced and good.
If people were interested in an introduction, they could email me and I would be happy to introduce ... Tim On 18 Oct 2004, at 20:33, Lisa Heft wrote:
Hello, folks - Harrison said: <Actually -- Brazil should not be off the list, I am pretty sure. The name escapes me, but perhaps the guilty party will surface. And if there is no current practice (practitioners) there, The Book has preceded them. Somebody "down there" thought enough of Open Space to have the book translated into (Brazilian) Portuguese.> As I recall, our dear colleagues Alexandre Bobeda and Jean Marconi Carvalho are in and from Brazil. Ms. Lucy Geão used to be on OSLIST but is no longer on it, I believe. I know these things because I was honored to do a workshop on interactive learning in Brazil a few years ago and have always wanted to return to do workshops and trainings in Open Space, so I am always excited to find more people there who interested in it. Dear Artur (Portugal) and Joelle (USA) and Laurel (Canada) and I share this interest and have talked about this often over recent years. One of the reasons I want to do Open Space there is that for my interactive learning workshop I asked participants to get up and find a new chair if they liked to dance (part of an introduction and 'weaving' activity at the beginning of the workshop) and all 75 stood up and did not sit down for 15 minutes, dancing instead to a silent (and very sensuous) rhythm in their (collective) heads. I knew then that I had to return, and I also know that dancing to silent music is v-e-r-y Open Space... Maybe a 5th Principle? "Whatever makes you dance is the right music..." ? Beijos, ("kisses" in Portuguese and I don't know many words but that's a good one) Lisa PS: on my soon-to-be-launched glossary of OST terms I do have Portuguese, thanks to the fabulous Artur. If any of you need it before I launch it let me know directly and I can give you those translations.... ________________________________ L i s a H e f t Consultant, Facilitator, Educator O p e n i n g S p a c e 2325 Oregon Berkeley, California 94705-1106 USA +01 510 548-8449 lisah...@openingspace.net www.openingspace.net * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
