LOCAL OS PRAC GROUP

[BrendanMcKeague]

G'day friends and colleagues

We held our first local practice group for OS here in sunny Perth during
the week - it was fantastic...!

At the 2 day training program last year with Michael Herman, a small group
decided to meet together for Keeping the Space Open - this was to be an
opportunity to practice opening the space and to share how we were
travelling in response to the training program. One person wished to be the
facilitator, another the organiser and I agreed to be 'the sponsor'. We put
it together as a team, got a great central venue for a small donation and
decided to advertise it to those who were curious about Open Space - in
addition to the twenty people who had participated in the training. It was
mid-week from 4.30 - 7.30pm, with snack food and drinks - cost $10

We were delighted when 38 curiosities turned up - I did the intro as
sponsor and the 'trainee' opened space on the theme: "Questions and
curiosities about Open Space". We had two sessions, 5 - 6 and 6-7pm
followed by a closing circle 7 - 730pm.

The feedback was very positive and most people commented on how they now
understood how this process worked - an experiential seems to be the most
effective way to explain...

So, we look forward to recruiting a few for our next training here in April
and also for Harrison's visit in October

cheers
