Hi Harrison, Viv, Ashley and All,
I was asked, a short time ago to open space for a group wanting to
set up a community garden in the town where I now live.
At the exact moment when I was about to hunt through my archives to
work out how many break-out spaces we'll need, you asked that very
question, Ashley.
I had the benefit of several answers from experienced facilitators to
set my mind at rest.
Then I went to see the meeting venue last night, and everything we'll
need is there for the participants to use - some wonderful spaces in
a beautiful church.
Last night the 2 main planners asked me to speak with the committee,
who is planning the event, tomorrow morning.
I needed a handy summary of Open Space to give the group.
Your talk gave me exactly what I needed, Harrison, via your
recording, Viv.
In 5 minutes, I found as much detail as I can remember to pass on to
the committee.
Lovely.
Thank you, Harrison
.
I can almost taste the crunchy veges from the future garden.
Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself!
Only problem is, as a relative newcomer to the town, I think I
probably need to stay out of the small groups for this meeting.
Perhaps I can persuade someone else to take on facilitation of the
next gathering, if there is one, so I can join in more fully.
Regards,
Allison.
PS Our daughter is getting married in 3 weeks - weddings must be in
the air!
Any hints, Harrison?

I suppose this is the super ego trip, but I just listened to Viv
McWater’s podcast of my remarks in San Francisco at OSONOS. The
quality of the sound is not the best, and there are doubtless
similar concerns with the speaker, but I actually think I had
something to say which I would like to share. If interested click
