Dear friends, dear os community, with more & more excitement we are working on WOSONOS preparations - you can actualy see the names of more & more people coming when you register, at the bottom some numbers by country. We will also CELEBRATE with practitioners who had a definite influence on our open space practice by sponsoring workshops with Birgitt & Ward Williams and Marvin Weisbord & Sandra Janoff before the WOSONOS - now extending the early bird till February 28th 2010. Marvin & Sandras latest book will appear in German later this year & the future search network will meet in Europe (Brussels) in the fall. Birgitt will present her e-book on the Genuine Contact Way for the first time at the workshop near Berlin - also the location of many boscop spring retreats and last years european genuine contact summer academy. We consciously found different locations for the different events. Starting in nature in a beautiful space right on a lake then moving to the central eastern Berlin district "Prenzlauer Berg" with the highest influx of young people, artists... with WOSONOS we move to the central western Berlin district "Kreuzberg" with a long and recent history of immigration still the most colorful & conflicted place in Berlin. It's near our Stammtisch location & our boscop "office" and some of us live nearby. The actual location is a huge church, the first in Berlin to be transformed into a multi-purpose space & still a church. We wish to share more of our practice this way and i personally look forward to a fruitful & inspiring exchange with all of you.
