Stefano: THANK YOU for sharing with us that first experience because it is unique. My first time I was very stressed but I kept thinking about principle 1 The people that come are the good people to be there. I wish you a very good experience and I also wish that more people would like to do what you are doing : start having more Open space experiences when this is possible, in their work places or anywhere else!
I think that Harrisson could, for the benefit of all the open space facilitators and other adults, add a new chapter: The title ? About the art of taking a nap anywhere event in the middle of an open space...that is your first one or any number! Tell us more after the OS I you can! I will be facilitating my first OS in an UNiversity in April and it is in the one where I studied in Mexico! I am really exited!
