I had the privilege to study with Angeles for a few years at CIIS and to interview her for my dissertation on open space. 

Rooted in her Basque mystical tradition, she was uniquely gifted in braiding the indigenous worldview with the modern western in a way from which all could learn.

Early on, she noted that the four principles of OS are "principles of detachment" that are central to the fourth thread of her Fourfold Way. 

Seemed to me that OS is a method that supports a collective to engage the entire Fourfold Way together. With the minimal appropriate structure needed to support such a collective "wayfinding" journey. Michael Herman, Chris Corrigan and others have written on this too.

She showed me how the OS closing circle is congruent with the "return and giveaway" which culminates many indigenous ceremonies; a spiritual and practical harvest from our individual and collective journeys 'across the open space' as Harrison wrote in his book on Spirit.

This all allowed us to consider OS a kind of Trojan Horse (or the new formulation Trojan Mouse - among the dinosaurs?) to bring indigenous wisdom into modern institutions in a braided way.

We were and are blessed by her gifts and her amazing storytelling and warm hearted presence.

Oooh what a loss. Angeles has been with me for many years, although I never met her. I had hoped to meet you soon to grasp more of your profound wisdom. 

The teachings of "The fourfold way" have meant a lot to me
The four ways of spirit: 
Show up and be fully present
Tell the truth without blame or judgement
Follow what has heart and meaning to you
Be open to outcome, not attached

Still working on it…and will keep on...
Thanks Angeles Arrien
With love
Thomas

Angie's presence on this earth was a blessing.  Because of her robust legacy, those blessings will continue.  But I'm missing her spunky presence already.

Dear Beloved Fetzer Friends of Angeles,

I am so very sorry to inform you of the sad news that Angie Arrien passed away last Thursday afternoon April 24, 2014 of complications after a long bout of walking pneumonia. Her family members around the country and in the Basque Country in Spain were being notified over this past weekend; and this week we will be informing her many colleagues, friends, and students of her recent passing.

I know how much Angie contributed to the Fetzer Institute, asnd how deeply she cared for and loved all the members of the Board, recognized the immense support of Staff, and was so dedicated in her stewardship of the Fetzer Fellows Groups and Community over the years.  She wholehertedly believed in the vision and mission of John E. Fetzer and the true power of love and forgiveness to be a transformative force for good in the world.

For those who wish to honor her memory, she asked that they light a candle once a month on the anniversary of her passing, for one year. At Angeles' request, there will not be a public memorial, her family will have a closed private service at a later date.  Angeles' business office will be closing by early summer.  

I know she will be missed terribly. Thank you so much for all your support and friendship to her over all these years, it meant so much to her.
With deep gratitude for all you have provided for her over these many years as friends, colleagues and especially allies in your good work in the world.

Lhadron

P.S. At her family’s request, cards or letters of condolence can be sent to Angie Arrien’s office at the address below.
