Re: [OSList] Invitation to "beam into" WOSONOS

[Ben Roberts via OSList]

Dear OST Friends,

 

Live from WOSONOS this Friday at noon EDT, I will be hosting a hybrid
virtual and in-person gathering during what will be the lunch break there.
You are all invited to “beam in” via Zoom and connect with some of the
participants.  This is happening in the context of the Now What?!
  global gathering that I have posted about
here previously.  

 

Call in information, calendar links, and RSVP options are here:
https://teamup.com/event/show/id/DVSjhuNDYtv3z9BRKb2GUr397MVHov

 

We will also attempt to self-organize some “buddy pairs” with people at the
conference and people who want to continue “beaming in.”  The idea is that
you can be on Zoom (or Skype, etc.) and be the guest of your in-person buddy
at whatever session(s) they choose to attend.  Note that, as someone pointed
out on the OS Hotline today, virtual participants may not be welcome in all
the WOSONOS sessions, and we will ask permission of their initiators before
bringing someone into the room in this way.  I might create a Google
spreadsheet “bulletin board” we can use to help coordinate this buddy
invitation, unless someone else wants to give that a go?

 

Also, since Now What?! runs through November 22, it can be a platform for
WOSONOS participants who wish to continue their conversations once the
conference is over (and also a way to invite more people into them).  Here’s
a two minute video that describes the Now What?! process, which borrows from
both OST and World Café, among other things: http://bit.ly/NW3promo3 

 

If you have any questions or feedback, please email me here:
b...@conversationcollaborative.com 


 

 

Cheers,

Ben Roberts

Re: [OSList] Skye Listening for the Harmonies

[Suzanne Daigle via OSList]

Dearest Skye,

Thank you for the gift of what you wrote. You captured in words (how is
that possible?) the beautiful ineffable spirit of this upcoming gathering
and of Open Space.

I arrived at Cherry Hill Park late yesterday. Here to indulge in 3 days of
pre-WOSonOS learning and sharing with Thomas Herrmann, Anna Caroline Turk
and other participants.

I feel myself arriving like an empty vessel, wishing to listen, hear, feel
and be with each and all who will be here and others like you Skye who are
so present from afar. Seeking to quiet my mind, to temper my emotions, to
let the days unfold as they will. Peacefully, quietly. It's not easy. A mix
of grief and anticipatory joy.

Impossible to ignore the
confusion, the very real pain, chaos and yes distractions of so much
happening in the world. Impossible to not feel the urgency to be doing, to
be doing more, helping, speaking out, and taking action.

Tis not always easy to give ourselves permission to discover and savor each
other. And yet I believe that it is in the joy of that togetherness, that
our spirits lift and that we lift others, now and beyond this circle. It
where the Aliveness happens.

In the end, no better guide for me this week, as part of the beautiful
ineffable, than the five principles of Open Space, the one law and a Be
Prepared to be Surprised!

So thank you Skye, for the love of what you sent. And for who you are for
us and others. You will be holding the space at a distance, in Maine, that
special place that Harrison also calls home!

Suzanne
