Hi Lisa
Please remind me when the San Fran WOSonOS is and how much workshop
attendance costs.
thanks,
Denise

Juan Luis -
Dreams become realities as we name them and lend our energies
towards them, no?
The miners did not just dream to survive - they planned,
coordinated, believed, and worked together, and kept faith.
To my OSLIST colleagues - If any of you wish to donate funds to
help Juan Luis and ... who knows ... possibly some other Chilean
Host Team members ... come to this December workshop - to further
grow their capacity and skills as they grow more OS in South
America and prepare for the WOSonOS (World Open Space on Open Space
- our annual international OS facilitator / learner / enthusiast
conference) ....
I welcome you to donate funds to the Access Queen via PayPal - to
lisah...@openingspace.net - with a note that goes with your
financial gift saying it is for the Chilean Host Team.
(If you are a U.S.A. citizen and need a tax write-off you can also
pay via the Open Space Institute-US with a note that says 'Access
Queen' - or send me a check with a note in the memo portion of your
check - though I am not myself a non-profit. Contact me for more
information on either of those two options.)
Access Queen is an awareness and resource-sharing project I run
that helps people get to our annual WOSonOSs - and for the first-
ever-in-the-Southern-Hemisphere WOSonOS I would say that
strengthening the knowledge of the Chilean Host Team is good
fertilizer for the seeds and growth of more and more Open Space in
South America. If you have additional forms of resources to offer
- it is not just a money thing - mileage? Accommodation in San
Francisco? other offerings? - thank you for letting me know.
I speak Spanish so can welcome even Juan Luis' mono-lingual
(Spanish-speaking-only) colleagues to the workshop and include them
in the learning.
Registration for any of the workshops I host is pay-what-you-can -
so Juan Luis and colleagues can afford that part.
The majority of funds raised may go towards whatever costs Juan
Luis or us locals cannot afford - such as air fair and other out-of-
pocket expenses.
Be sure that they are also raising their own money to pay towards
their costs.
Any money raised that remains after their costs are covered will go
towards either
- bringing them back again for the OSonOS Heidi and I will soon
tell you all about (this coming March), or to
- help them get to another workshop any of us host in the US or
South America, or
- for any Askers seeking support to attend the 2011 WOSonOS in Chile.
Whatever the individual Chilean Host Team member requests for
growing their own learning and their South American learning
community.

Several of us OS colleagues are also planning to facilitate
different kinds of OS workshops in several countries in South
America in 2011 to further grow OS knowledge, capacity and
community in South America - which is the home of some really
marvelous and skilled facilitators who are interested in adding
Open Space to their skills / knowledge / dialogue tools. So by the
time we gather in Chile for WOSonOS 2011 in October - we will be
able to celebrate the growth and strength of Spanish language /
South American culture Open Space knowledge and community... This
is my own dream - that we not just (whoever is able to) fly in for
a fun and educational single international event next October but
work towards the growth of local capacity and ability for
facilitating Open Space.
And if you do not already know about it - there is a group on our
Open Space World Community ning site - that meets in Spanish - that
Juan Luis also hosts... http://openspaceworld.ning.com - come visit!
(if you do not know Spanish you can always translate the sentences
at tradukka.com - Juan Luis and my favorite translation site that
gets most... of the words correctly...!)

If the dream of Berlin was possible why not San Francisco?
