Dear friends sharing my tears - i remember the vivid good arguments we had at the last WOSONOS with Brian sharing his wisdom on hosting and facilitating open space without added "action planning" with another design - "NOT shutting down the space!" I so much enjoy his passion. And i am sure he will be present at the WOSONOS in Berlin in many ways - and still i miss him already.
PS: and we had a lot of fun like running around in Taipei with Pavel and climming the 101 to enjoy the sunset - and i remember the shock when he disappeared for one night in Kiev... and i had just enjoyed his newsletter early this morning - i am glad i will get to tell and listen to more stories at our boscop meeting with my dear colleagues here coming up at 10 am much love & peace to all of you Michael jr On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 8:22 AM, Viv McWaters <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone > > > Father Brian Bainbridge passed away in his sleep, early morning on > Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
