Oh Viv,
I am very shocked and saddened to hear this news.
Thank you for letting us know and for saying you will tell us about
funeral arrangements.
Last time I saw him, some weeks ago, Brian was walking down the main
street in Queenscliff during a retreat break.
Still the same easygoing greeting.
He was at the heart of Open Space for me.
I'll miss knowing he is holding space in the flesh in Oz.
We'll all still benefit from his wisdom and eldership, around the world.
But I'll miss him.
Allison.

Hello everyone
Father Brian Bainbridge passed away in his sleep, early morning on
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. It was a sad surprise to us all - in
fact, he just sent out an Open Space OZ newsletter the evening
before.
I am in such shock right now and very, very sad. Brian has been a
dear friend, and mentor for many years and we have been working and
playing together since the early 1990s. Most recently we offered
Open Space Training here in Melbourne, usually once or twice a
year. In fact, we were trying to get dates sorted for this coming
March. Brian would often come and have dinner with us here at Bells
Beach. We'd share food, wine and stories. We travelled together to
WOSonOS events in Vancouver, Goa and San Francisco, and hosted
WOsonOS in the now destroyed town of Marysville. Brian went to as
many OSonOs events as he could and always kept me up-to-date with
all of the OS community shenanigans. I have so many great memories
of Brian I don't even know where to start. I will keep you informed
of details regarding the funeral.
Best
Viv
