holding space

[Jan Hein Nielsen - Uphill]

Dear Eva

Thank you for sharing your feelings and thoughts with us.

Yesterday when we got the news of Anna Lind being murdered, we were in
the begining of an two-day Open Space on the theme "Authentic
Leadership" for a group of danish leaders.
Suddenly real life knocked on our door, and in the evening news Anna
Lind was with us and gave us a truthfull moment of clarity of; why it
is important today to gather us and question the leadership we are
being in and doing today - to ourselves and to others...???

With love,
Jan Hein
