A shared invitation to my World wide friends and colleagues, I did not feel that I could justify the trip to Chile for the WOSonOS and yet I so wished to go. I held in my heart the vivid memory of Juan Luis Walker's invitation at the WOSonOs in Berlin last year, walking the inside of the circle extending a passionate invitation to choose Chile for 2011, a first in South America for this World gathering.
I visited the website and it was so beautifully done. Easy to navigate and the all-inclusive pricing options for lodging, food and conference were so reasonable. I could feel the same spirit of welcome that I had felt as Juan Luis chanted "Chile, Chile, Chile". www.wosonoschile.cl I knew many friends would be there and many new people too. I imagined the conversations around a very relevant question: *"What are the main challenges and opportunities of Open Space Technology in Latin America and the world?"* I saw the good work of Access Queen there again to help defray costs and to invite contributions; I noted the pre-work training before and after the conference. I saw the photos of this beautiful country and I knew I just had to go! And in the end, I also knew that the sharing that would happen in Chile would infuse me with knowledge, friendships and a feeling of deep global connectedness with others who passionately believe in opening space in all kinds of places. So as I have been all along since I met Open Space, I was impulsive again and I bought a seat sale ticket to Chile. The heartwarming response from Juan Luis and the host team convinced me immediately that I had made the right decision. So what I have to say to my pals out there is perhaps you can do as I did; taking another look at your schedule, checking your budget, visiting the website and letting your heart lead you to Chile for the first WOSonOS in South America.
