Dear OSList, The Open Space Institute-U.S. has reserved a beautiful home on a lake near Charlotte, North Carolina in October (before WOSonOS) for an intimate retreat. We'll max out at 16. Harrison Owen challenged us a few years ago at Opening Space for Peace and High Performance to convene a conversation for 8 billion. That challenge just seems to get more and more urgent. We don't just need the solution yesterday. The more we face the challenges, the more in the past it seems we need the solutions. But we've also seen miracles happen in Open Space. We're wondering how can we be that invitation for that 8 billion person conversation. To learn more to see if this is for you (or you are for it): https://osius.org/being-the-invitation-retreat <https://osius.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=38&qid=4569>     Yours truly,     Harold on behalf of the board of the Open Space Institute-U.S.
