Hi all,

I wanted to share something with this community specifically, because it wouldn't exist without it.

Mark Kilby and I have been working on The Way Through: Real Stories of Courage, Connection and Change from Around the World — an anthology of true stories about transformation, gathered from contributors around the world. It's organized the way a good open space session unfolds: an invitation, people pulling up a chair, and the stories finding their own order across six sections (Letting Go, Discovering Me, Our Stories, and more).

A few people from this world have already read early pieces of it — Peggy Holman among them, who was generous enough to say it's "a gift for anyone seeking to understand the deeper implications of this deceptively simple approach to meetings and to life."

We're in final preparation for publication now. If you'd like to be notified the moment it's available, you can sign up for our newsletter on open space mindset.

Thanks for reading this far. This community shaped the spirit of the book more than you know.

Soulfully,
April Jefferson

Very ecstatic over here. Can’t wait for the official launch.
