I share Harrison's curiosity, Kathleen. If you 'have the fever' for open space for strategic planning, why not trust the fever and give it a try.
Another thought: I am not quite sure that holding space as an open space practitioner is facilitation. There is, at least I think there is, an important difference between holding space for strategic planning and facilitating a strategic planning process. If you want to learn more, you can go to openspaceworld.org, a website that serves open space because, in very large part, of the dedication of Michael Herman. On the website, you should be able to find out about any upcoming trainings. Plus there is lots on the website that might help you.
