-The presence of an African Canadian from Alberta representing a

multicultural non profit organization was a real gift to the group.
When he

realized that the spirit and many parts of the Open Space ritual
actually

originate from Africa, it felt like the Open Space approach had come
home
<br>
and all of us had the privilege of being invited to that warm place;
