Greetings!
It is time for us to gather and to honor Harrison Owen; to share stories
and to express our love for him and each other.
Two weeks have gone by since he died on March 16th, 2024.
Such sadness and grief we have all felt and are still feeling.
The expressions of love and gratitude from around the world for Harrison
have been overflowing; the stories of Open Space moving and inspirational.
In planning this upcoming virtual gathering, Barry Owen carried the Open
Space torch for his dad. Trusting we should leave the space open, not
rushing too fast in setting a time and place for us all to meet. It's how
it is when we sit in a giant circle, with lots of space in the middle,
writing and announcing our topics. It's what people have done, head and
heart, with such passion and emotion.
Barry also reminded us in the planning: “to not work too hard”. It’s what
dad would have wanted, he said.
So, he, I and others, have waited until NOW, until the right time to invite
everyone. Day by day, the pieces for this future reunion came together.
Why not create a Virtual Gathering that has the spirit of Camden by the
Sea? Back then, Harrison would simply rent a space, tell people where and
when, and that was it. The stories from those days live on, beautiful
memories of Camden Maine, the place that Harrison called home to the very
end.
We then called Lucas Cioffi at QiqoChat. Can you help us? We wanted to take
a minimalist approach. As always, Lucas was quick to support our ideas.
Together we imagined the Law of Two Feet in action with multiple Zoom
breakout areas for conversations and blank spaces to write notes and post
pictures. Nothing more. No formal facilitation or hosting, just us,
welcoming each other together, holding, and opening more and more space.
Trusting this beautiful process of Open Space that is so much more.
Harrison’s presence would be felt, as our official facilitator. After all,
he’s already opened the space for us and is holding it still while napping
along the way.
The date of the gathering came to us in a flash. Why not April 8th to get
this started, on the day of the Solar Eclipse. There seemed to be such
significance to that date, as if a cosmic inspiration, the 8th day of the 4
th month of 2024. Harrison at age 88 being the pure expression of an
infinity symbol. And indeed engaging 8 billion people in meaningful
conversations is a timeless endeavor.
We also decided that there would only be a start time (10 AM, Eastern
Time), no end time, again in the spirit of Open Space “when it’s over it’s
over” which implies that life in Open Space will never be over.
The intent is that people from around the globe will flow in and out, on
their own time zones for a day or two or more. As for every closing circle,
it will be over when it’s over.
Everyone is invited: Harrison’s family and friends, our global Open Space
community and so many other colleagues and friends from around the world.
Please help us spread the word ~ everywhere, anywhere and in any way.
With love,
Barry, Suzanne, Lucas, and many others
Hi Suzanne, Barry, Lucas and all the others involved.

Suzanne,
What you've written here is so lovely. Thanks for the invitation, and for
the care taken in crafting it together with others. ❤
I feel this mood will be lost when I share just the basics on Mastodon. *Would
you be willing to share your invitation somewhere that non-list members can
see it? *Maybe a view-only gdoc or a wiki page?
If not, I'd like to copy your text to a Mastodon thread, ending with the
zoom link. And perhaps an iCal file that people can add to their own
calendar, to keep it visible.
Love to you all,
Deb

Deb, please take the text, the images, anything and all and make it your
own. It's what we intended by not doing anything too fancy "one less thing
to do, don't work too hard". We put our efforts in the sensing and feeling
and what a wonderful ride it has been. So apply your talents and go have
fun.
With love always,
Suzanne (and Barry)

Ahh ... I viewed this in my inbox. But just now I realised that the post
itself is not members-only! I was able to see it in an "incognito" tab in
my browser, so it can be shared that way! 🙂
I'm with you, Suzanne - let's keep it simple! ❤

My posts celebrating Harrison on LinkedIn and Mastodon got more shares and
reactions than usual. So I know people care :-)

Deb, please take the text, the images, anything and all and make it your
own. It's what we intended by not doing anything too fancy "one less thing
to do, don't work too hard". We put our efforts in the sensing and feeling
and what a wonderful ride it has been. So apply your talents and go have
fun.
With love always,
Suzanne (and Barry)

Suzanne,
What you've written here is so lovely. Thanks for the invitation, and for
the care taken in crafting it together with others. ❤
I feel this mood will be lost when I share just the basics on Mastodon. *Would
you be willing to share your invitation somewhere that non-list members can
see it? *Maybe a view-only gdoc or a wiki page?
If not, I'd like to copy your text to a Mastodon thread, ending with the
zoom link. And perhaps an iCal file that people can add to their own
calendar, to keep it visible.
Love to you all,
Deb

Honoring Harrison Owen ~ A community comes together
"Camden by the Sea, Virtually and Globally"
April 8th is when it starts… 10AM Eastern Time
Place and Space: on ZOOM
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/5694939869?pwd=YUY3Q3puekZ5THljNjFoU2dCTjNuQT09

Greetings!
It is time for us to gather and to honor Harrison Owen; to share stories
and to express our love for him and each other.
Two weeks have gone by since he died on March 16th, 2024.
Such sadness and grief we have all felt and are still feeling.
The expressions of love and gratitude from around the world for Harrison
have been overflowing; the stories of Open Space moving and inspirational.
In planning this upcoming virtual gathering, Barry Owen carried the Open
Space torch for his dad. Trusting we should leave the space open, not
rushing too fast in setting a time and place for us all to meet. It's how
it is when we sit in a giant circle, with lots of space in the middle,
writing and announcing our topics. It's what people have done, head and
heart, with such passion and emotion.
Barry also reminded us in the planning: “to not work too hard”. It’s
what dad would have wanted, he said.
So, he, I and others, have waited until NOW, until the right time to
invite everyone. Day by day, the pieces for this future reunion came
together.
Why not create a Virtual Gathering that has the spirit of Camden by the
Sea? Back then, Harrison would simply rent a space, tell people where and
when, and that was it. The stories from those days live on, beautiful
memories of Camden Maine, the place that Harrison called home to the very
end.
We then called Lucas Cioffi at QiqoChat. Can you help us? We wanted to
take a minimalist approach. As always, Lucas was quick to support our ideas.
Together we imagined the Law of Two Feet in action with multiple Zoom
breakout areas for conversations and blank spaces to write notes and post
pictures. Nothing more. No formal facilitation or hosting, just us,
welcoming each other together, holding, and opening more and more space.
Trusting this beautiful process of Open Space that is so much more.
Harrison’s presence would be felt, as our official facilitator. After
all, he’s already opened the space for us and is holding it still while
napping along the way.
The date of the gathering came to us in a flash. Why not April 8th to
get this started, on the day of the Solar Eclipse. There seemed to be such
significance to that date, as if a cosmic inspiration, the 8th day of
the 4th month of 2024. Harrison at age 88 being the pure expression of
an infinity symbol. And indeed engaging 8 billion people in meaningful
conversations is a timeless endeavor.
We also decided that there would only be a start time (10 AM, Eastern
Time), no end time, again in the spirit of Open Space “when it’s over it’s
over” which implies that life in Open Space will never be over.
The intent is that people from around the globe will flow in and out, on
their own time zones for a day or two or more. As for every closing circle,
it will be over when it’s over.
Everyone is invited: Harrison’s family and friends, our global Open
Space community and so many other colleagues and friends from around the
world.
Please help us spread the word ~ everywhere, anywhere and in any way.
With love,
Barry, Suzanne, Lucas, and many others
