Hello,
i realized I sent this only to Doug and thought I would post it too...
Hi Doug,
It may be too late, but...
At some events (I've never done it for closing an Open Space) I've had
people write a letter to themselves about the experience and what they
are inspired to do, recommending that they finish with a personal note
to themselves with encouraging words - what might they want to hear from
this energized self that is writing the letter. It helps to bring
envelopes so they can self address them. And after 3 or 4 weeks, I pick
up a stack (usually a fraction of the total) and take them to the post.
A week later I take another stack, and so on until the letters have all
been sent. - A big - Thank You! - to Gregg Levoy for this wonderful
idea. see www.gregglevoy.com to learn more about he and his incredibly
wonderful book Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life.
This process helps to extend the event into the future, and is also a
great way to build in reflection at the end of an event and a second
chance for reflection (and possibly action) after the event has formally
ended.
with grace and love,
Zelle

Hi--
This comes to you from the OSonOSinUS in San Antone.
The weather is fantastic, and the conversations are
even greater.
Today Sheila Isaakson did a wonderful job of opening
and closing the space for our first day. Tomorrow I am
set to open and close.
The question: Sheila used the closing she and I
learned from Harrison and others: everybody stand,
look around the circle to meet each others' eyes, turn
around in place, take one step out with these
wonderful people behind you.
So as to give people a taste of something different, I
am hoping you can give me ideas of other closings that
have worked well for you....
Thanks!
:-Doug. Germann
