Hello dear friends!
Last september, during GiGi Mundiala/WOSonOS 2022 in Bilbao, in the previous Open Space on "Complex times, how do we go ahead in collaborative ways?" (26-27 Sept 2022)
a group of passionated people started a conversation on a very specific action: "How can we prepare a fasting week for next summer?"
We are now glad to announce that the plan is going ahead. This makes the past GiGi adventure even more fullfilling!
Conveners plan to spend one week fasting on a farmhouse during 21-28th of July 2023, in which communication language will be Basque (this would normally not happen, being a diglotical situation, in which, at the end, those meetings most of times happen mainly in Spanish. Their goal is to do it in Basque to expand the usage field of the local language).
The issue for the OS is not fixed yet.
I have never facilitated this kind of OS, with those 3 features:
a. participants willl most of them be fasting, with a doctor taking care of health/nutritional needs
b. the promotors have in mind a long OS (around 5 days?)
c. I suppose we'll convene the OS with the really important issues in life
And I'm excited about it!
Any input is welcome!
A big hug for al,

Dear Gentza,
Many years ago, 1996, I believe, Anne Stadler and Harrison Owen sponsored
a five day OST on the theme "Expanding Our Now". It was a life changing
event for all of us who gathered. As a theme, focused on 'now' we could
play with expanding that now, raise any topics that felt important to us,
and sit within the beautiful 'now' that the two of them created. I
recommend this topic to you.
in genuine contact,

Dear Brigitt,
I guess this 5 day OS is being life changing too, really!
"Expanding our now" seems a very good topic for us too, yes!
I'll reflect over the way to briefly express it in an invitation.
How do we write it in a way that people feel invited, even passionate
for a five day life-changing encounter?
I'll let you know as we go ahead, and input is always welcome!
Thanks so much!

Hello Eleder.
So glad to see that wonderful week in Bilbao still bear fruit.
I wish I could speak basque and join what will surely be a deeply
transformative experience.
My input would be to use the opportunity of the farmhouse, which I assume
will have some land around it, and possibly some outbuildings (barn?) to
add the space dimension to time as was suggested by Brigitt.
When I was in Bilbao I went to see the exhibit "a matter of time" at the
Guggenheim. These are massive "sculptures" which create narrow corridors
between very tall walls but opened at the top. It takes you on various
geometrical journeys like for instance a spiral ending in an empty circle.
Through the spiral you are disoriented and start losing sense of space and
time. Then you arrive at this circular open space, where it seems time
stands still. Similarly by playing around with the various spaces available
or that you can create around the site of your event, you would be able to
induce or facilitate certain states of mind. Natural spaces are
particularly powerful and do that as long as you are, indeed, in the now.
Take Care,
JF

So good to hear from you. I guess this Open Space is the opposite to the one you hosted (WOSonOS) where we enjoyed eating so much. If that’s your everyday life I do understand you need a 5 day fasting every now and then 😊 <joke>
I would love to get on the motorbike and join you and I would love to hear basque for a week ❤
Wishing you continuous good planning.
With love and appreciation for all you open space for in the world.
