Dear precious friends and colleagues,
Last night Barry Owen reached out to me to say that his dad had passed
away... peacefully a few hours earlier in Camden Maine.
He briefly described that Harrison had prepared his family, friends and
colleagues well for this moment. Staying in touch and connecting, opening
and holding the space.
And that space will always be open, said Barry. "He's still holding the
space now...
Earlier in the day, Barry had also shared a love note with me that he wrote
to his dad. I asked if he/we could post it here feeling that the message
speaks to all of us — his Global Open Space family. He heartily agreed.
Barry was back on the job this morning, in a way, honoring his father's
wishes that none of us work too hard or make too much of a big deal of him
leaving us. Of course we know that's impossible for a billion reasons.
But for now as we sit together in this big global circle, grieving and
missing him, with hige blank white sheets in the middle of the virtual
floor, each of us expressing our thoughts, feelings and memories, captured
in a very special future Book of Proceedings, HERE..the love note that
Barry send to his to his dad. I am but the humble messenger. Suzanne
The Title: Loving You
Good morning Dad!
I hope you are feeling the love and comfort from the many millions
(BILLIONS) people whose lives have been enriched by your presence
throughout your 88 years while here on Earth.
I wish for you a passing of comfort, Love, Peace, Joy HAPPINESS to have
lived your life to your FULLEST.
You Taught us not to work so damned HARD
Right People

All the right things have happened
the Lord knows you will pass when "it" is over!

Dear Suzanne, dear Barry, dear all.
This is really a sad moment for all of us who had the gift to know him and
being inspired by his work.
Let's meet and dance together at next WOSonOS to celebrate Harrison and
what he has given to the world.

We will not see his like again.
My heart is heavy and I know in his passing he has opened more space for us all.
Harrison gave us a remarkable gift…complexity in practice.
Opening space for what is possible now….

A deep bow of gratitude to our old teacher, and an easy lift of the glass
in his honor, with a small libation at the oak in the yard.
Dear Open Space Community,
This weekend i facilitated a meeting with open space and the participants
were very satisfied, productive and had a great time. I told them the story
of Harrison, how he created this method drinking his martini.
I am very sorry for the loss of Harrison. We had invited him to Wosonos
2024 Istanbul. I wanted to believe that he could come.
Thanks Harrison for reminding us that work, joy, love and freedom are
possible with simplicity.
I am grateful and will miss you.
My condolences to his wife, children and to all of you.
