LOCAL OS PRAC GROUP

[Barry Owen]

Brendan,

IMPECCABLE timing for your message - Thank you, Thank you . . . I am
one week away from doing a similar event which has potential for 120
participants (for a 3 hour "Questions and curiosities about Open
Space"). We are in Nashville, TN USA where not a lot of OST is
happening, and we're working on changing that.

Anyhow, the format I had imagined for our meeting EXACTLY mirrors what
you have done, and it is a HUGE relief for me to see success with it 1
week prior.

Thank you and wishing everyone well,
b

>
> 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

> So, we look forward to recruiting a few for our next training here
> in April
