The Da Vinci Connection -- OS & the Feminine - the dance of leader and follower (long)

[Communications Esther Matte]

How very true!

I'm new on the list - a few days only - and a newcomer to Open Space. I had 
the privilege to attend Diane Gibeault's and Larry Peterson's Open Space 
Training at the end of April, and of course to read Harrison Owen's Open 
Space Technology. What I found there is truly amazing. Very much in sync 
with the values and principles I try to live by. I am currently preparing 
myself to offer Open Space to clients and non-profit organizations, and the 
more I write, think and visualize how it's going to be, the more I feel 
ready to jump in. I hope I can contribute with you all to opening space in 
this world.

I definitely think that the Open Space backdrop and the presence of the 
sacred feminine has a lot to do with the approach and sharing in OSLIST. 
And I'm grateful to have the opportunity to read such interesting comments, 
insights, and totally open, honest and respectful discussions.

I just read Zelle Nelson's message on the dance of leader and follower - 
wow! Great food for thought and discussions with others. Thank you!

I wish you all a great weekend!
