A story about how Tree schooled me on the needs of introverts, along with a 
long comment from her.  THis is why she meant so much to me. This post catches 
a powerful teaching moment for me and it changed my practice:

For those who have been practicing Open Space Technology for a while, you will 
likely remember the irascible voice of Tree Fitzpatrick. She left this earth on 
January 20th.

 

A small group of us have planned a memorial celebration for her. It is, of 
course, informed by Open Space. An invitation is below and on Facebook 
<https://www.facebook.com/events/764707827506392/?active_tab=about> . Please 
come and share the invitation with others you believe would want to know.

 

Of course, if you want to share a story on this list, I suspect many of us have 
learned from and even loved Tree.

 

Many thanks,

Peggy

Therese (Tree) Fitzpatrick

August 16, 1953 - January 20, 2021

 


Bio


Therese Marie Fitzpatrick (“Tree”)  was born in Mitchell, South Dakota (home of 
the Corn Palace), and raised on the south side of Chicago. Throughout her life, 
she lived in many places, including the Midwest, South America, Northeast, and 
Northwest before she landed in Berkeley, a place she’d always dreamed of 
living. She was a mother, a writer, an attorney, a political activist, a 
consultant, an art lover, a voracious reader, a daily swimmer, a sister, a 
daughter, and a friend. She was brilliant, determined, resourceful, loving, and 
creative. Despite a lifetime of challenges, she worked diligently to create and 
live the life she wanted. Join us as we remember her.

Additional Ways to Celebrate

<https://www.facebook.com/events/764707827506392/?active_tab=discussion> 
Facebook Memorial event page

Three suggestions from her daughter:

 

*         <https://walkerart.org/> Walker Art Center
This is an incredible museum in Minneapolis that my mother took me to once a 
month as a child, and at which my mother was a volunteer and tour guide. 

*         <https://stfrancisfriends.org/> Saint Francis Friends of the Poor.
This is an organization in NYC whose mission is as follows: "to offer permanent 
housing and supportive services to homeless men and women with histories of 
chronic mental illness." Saint Francis Friends of the Poor is an organization 
that is near and dear to my heart, and with which I work closely. They are 
trailblazers who revolutionized the supportive housing model in NYC 40 years 
ago, and are well known to be the standard-bearers for the provision of housing 
and services to individuals with chronic mental illness in New York. I consider 
my work with St. Francis and other similar organizations to be my own personal 
way to honor my mother, and I can’t think of a better way for her friends to 
honor her than to support the work of an organization dedicated to providing a 
dignified, meaningful life to individuals with similar challenges.  

*         
<https://depts.washington.edu/uwbrtc/about-us/support-dr-linehans-legacy/> Dr. 
Marsha M. Lineham’s Legacy at the University of Washington
This fund will create fellowships in Dr. Lineham’s name to support students who 
are training to be the next generation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) 
practitioners and researchers. Dr. Lineham’s program brought my mother to 
Seattle, and she often spoke of their positive impact.

 

With love,
