The Tao of Holding Space - an ebook

[Jack Ricchiuto]

This is a great book Chris and as serendipity would have it, I picked up a
new translation of the Tao last night and first thought was how perfectly
suited it is for the work of open space and that someone should put that
together. Dreaming about it, I wake up this morning to this gift. Thanks,
brother, for the fast turnaround on it : ) Jack
