Thanks for your good wishes, Romy.  Through your calling in of the
possibility-space that holds these wonderful communities, I feel very
inspired.  What a great send off!

Ditto to that one

Inspired Christine by how your words reflect the true inspiration and
possibility-space that OST, TWE and AI and their communities represent...

... And would SO SO love to be at the OSonOS by the sea. Sending love and
inspiration to you all.... And like Gariela, with you in spirit big time...

Dear Open Space and World Cafe  Friends,

Last week I had the great pleasure of attending The  World Cafe Stewardship
Dialogue along with Peggy Holman, Tree Fitzpatrick,  Kenoli Oleari, Tenneson
Woolf, Juanita Brown and other OSList  friends.  And this weekend, I'll be
traveling to Camden, Maine, for the  OSonOS by the Sea.  I feel incredibly
blessed to  be partaking of the many amazing connections in these two
communities. 

During the closing circle at the World Cafe  Stewardship Dialogue, I shared
how much I was touched by the  openness, joy and deep sense of gratitude
that permeated our  time together.  80 people from 15 countries connected
hearts,  minds and spirits in deep cafe conversations.  And, to my  delight,
bodies were well cared for too.  Inspired by the musicians  among us and our
friends from Brazil, we danced and hiked and climbed the  hills around
breathtakingly beautiful Tomales Bay, CA.   

In addition to the many commitments made  by the World Cafe Community
members for stewarding TWC into the future, I  know that several For Benefit
initiatives were launched or picked up  steam.  I expect the same will be
true when a small portion of the OS  community meets next week in Maine.

I'm struck by how beautifully the World Cafe  community holds the space
open.  And how the Open Space community has,  for over twenty years, invited
people to host conversations that  matter.

I believe the world is calling for us to work  together.  I'm talking about
those of us who practice in the field  of open, appreciative, strategic
conversations and large scale  social change.   We can consciously watch for
opportunities to work  together for large scale impact.  In the near future,
we  will know which initiatives need and would welcome our help or which
projects WE want to initiate.  The Open Space, World Cafe and  Appreciative
Inquiry communities (among many other communities of  practice) are poised
and we know how to self-organize.  I can't wait  to see what will come
calling.  

Namasté,

Christine
