Hello all: Here an initiative that speaks to the heart and simplicity of Open Space. Something that got pulled together quickly and magic ensued. "Opening Space for Peace and High Performance" started before it started. A tandem gathering that was absolutely wonderful! Asia heard about our Open Space and at the last minute jumped in to host their very own, on their timezone, building on the same theme in the spirit of "Engaging 8 Billion People in Meaningful Conversations". Taiwan, the Philippines, China, Nepal and Portugal and Florida showed up, hosted by Kari and Jane. No words to describe the joy and love of storytelling shared. "Being with colleagues in Open Space is like being with family", said Audrey Hepburn from China. It was also an occasion for her to celebrate with us the recent translation in Chinese of Harrison Owen's book Wave Rider. A warm invitation extended for all to participate this weekend. No cost.
